Rum Nation Savanna Small Batch Rare Rums 2007
Sip this one neat and slow — at 59.3% it's a Savanna from Reunion given a sherry finish, and that cask leans in hard. Expect cherry (griotte, almost cherry-in-alcohol), glue and gunpowder sulphur, plus roasted, smoky wood and a touch of banana. Several tasters love the sherry-Savanna combo; others feel the cask "dénature" the classic floral Savanna underneath.
The community says- Griotte cherry note
- Roasted, smoky depth
- Sulphur lingers

Sherry-finished Savanna, cherry and sulphur-heavy Divisive. Fans of sherry-finished funk enjoy the cherry, roast and glue; others say the cask and heavy sulphur bury the Savanna character. The sulphur note lingers long.

Review by Skyfly
Für mich ein sehr interessanter Rum; in der Nase nehme ich nur modrige Noten wahr. Im Gaumen schmeckt man Kirsche mit Holz-, Rauch- und Röstaromen, sowie leichten Schwefel, was wohl die Einflüsse der Vorbelegung sind. Die Kombination der unterschiedlichen Aromen im Gaumen finde ich wirklich gelungen, Nase und Abgang sind aber unspektakulär.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Eindeutig ein Beispiel für eine wirklich schlechte Fass Auswahl fürs Sherry finish. Rauchig, schweflig, Benzin, plastik und Gummi dominieren hier leider den Savanna komplett und machen ihn leider komplett zunichte. Schade wie man ein grundsätzlich gutes Destillat dermaßen zerstören kann ...
Review by Johannes
The Oloroso finish certainly enhances the rum. The finish is well integrated and is not too dominant. The base is probably rather average - definitely not a grand aroma. Overall a good rum.

Ta síra je hroznej hnus :-(
Review by Martin Spooner
In der Nase röstig und floral mit einer leichten schärfe. Der Geschmack hat etwas von Schießpulver aber immer ich genießbar. Er hat etwas blumiges. Auch die Banane schmecke ich. Der Abgang könnte länger sein ist aber noch im Rahmen.
Review by Chrischi78
Das Oloroso-Finish macht seine Arbeit, ohne zu dominant zu sein. In der Nase röstig und floral mit leichter Schärfe, am Gaumen röstige Aromen, blumige Noten und Banane. Der Abgang könnte länger sein. Insgesamt ein solider, aber mittelmäßiger Rum.
Review by Dr.Django
Dieser Rum ist ein leckerer easy sipper mit einem dominanten sherry finish. Im Abgang ist dezent, aber doch deutlich schwefel zu schmecken, der lange im nachklang im mund verbleibt. generell etwas bitterholzig und nussig. Von Savanna ist hier ganz wenig für mich zu erschmecken.
