Green apple and dry oak lead here, thanks to a Calvados-cask influence several tasters spotted right away. Add citrus, salted caramel, a little dark chocolate and liquorice, plus faint Savanna esters. Most people call it a nice sipper — the recurring gripe is that the palate falls a touch flat and the 53.4% alcohol isn't fully tucked in.

- Woody and fruity

How does Savanna Traditionnel - Série kraft 2008 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, oaky Savanna with a Calvados apple twist Most find it a fruity, woody Savanna with a distinctive Calvados-apple twist. The common catch: aromas shrink on the palate and the alcohol could be better integrated.

Nice fruity (probably also due to the finish) rum with very slight ester hints.

Great Savanna tasting with Artur. A fairly broad, balanced nose with sweetness and integrated wood. The entry on the palate is soft, then unfortunately the aromas shrink and the bitterness increases. The finish is moderately long and the bitterness is marked.
Review by Cédric C
I'm tasting this Savanna again that's been lingering at the back of my bar, it's still just as enjoyable. A beautiful golden-copper color. On the nose, it's quite powerful: the wood dominates with the fruitiness. On the palate, the aromatic power is just as present as on the nose; the fruits are more discreet, the wood still dominates with notes of dark chocolate and salted caramel. The finish is long. For once, I'm raising the score I had given it.
Review by Righrum
Very nice Savanna. Traditionnel, indeed, but with some nice esters that recall Grand Arome. Some traits are usual savanna, especially apples. Good the influence of the cask, wood caramel and liquorice. A really nice dram, and enjoyable savanna.

Alcohol not integrated yet, otherwise it would be very good...
Review by Frank
A beautiful, fruity-woody nose. Besides freshness from limes and oranges, the Calvados clearly comes through with its apple notes. Some grape could also be present. Dry oak and lovely vanilla, with some cocoa and a hint of licorice out the back. On the palate, it's fruity and spicy and comes through salty and bitter at first. Again, the Calvados finish comes through with green apple. Plus some sour cherry and grapefruit. I also find nutmeg and vanilla. In the finish it remains fruity and is increasingly woody.Beautiful Savanna with Interesting Finish
Review by Kedyns1
You can recognize the Calvados on the nose, which you miss on the palate. The cognac is too dominant. Alcohol could be integrated a little better. Finish a bit too short. A solid rum that lacks some character.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Too underrated, for me a great Savanna after Calvados.
Review by Morten Nørregaard Rasmussen
Nice sipping Savanna ☺️
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
28.02.2020 Had a nice meet up with new rum nerds. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose Wood, fruity, light chocolate, citrus, spice, light smoke. Palate Warm, wood, fruity, pineapple, spicy, faint chocolate, light olive. Finish Medium to long, wood, spicy, medium dry, citrus. Extra note. ABV could have been better integrated.
