"Wow" was one taster's first reaction, and the theme is consistent: a big, oily Savanna from Reunion with marked oak, leather and spice, plus grape and a citrus edge on the finish. At 62.8% the alcohol is surprisingly well folded in, though a few find the acidity in the tail a touch sharp. Sip it slowly — people are firm that mixing washes it out.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Long oily finish
- But: Sharp acidic finish

How does Rum Nation Savanna Small Batch Rare Rums 2004 taste?
Summarized by AI from 30 community reviews.
Bold, oily Reunion sipper, oak and leather Most love it as a bold, oily sipper — leather, wood and spice with heat that's better integrated than the ABV suggests. The one gripe: a sharp, slightly bitter acidic finish.

Excellent rum! Notes of wood, milk chocolate, light roast and olives with a fleeting presence of caramel and vanilla... A strong, oily rum, but with the alcohol well integrated. Long, lingering finish.

Great Savanna tasting with Artur. Balance and softness on the nose with marked but integrated wood, also fruits and a slight tar. Nice entry on the palate but then the aromas decrease instead of increasing. The finish is quite long but too harsh with acidity. A finish that takes away many points here.

On the rocks Pepsi max Spicy, leathery linger, Mixed not good changes taste too much
Review by Stefan L
I have a hard time to place this one, really sweet in taste despite no additives. About quarter of the bottle left now and haven’t tried it in a while, but think it’s better than I remember it.
Review by Shaun Abel
A kick in the throat from the spice but something you want more of, great taste....don't mix it
Review by Johannes
Surprisingly good! Lots of grape, alcohol well integrated.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Had a relaxing online tasting yesterday and it had a vide spread between low and high end rums. A wonderful rum that is very well balanced and you barely notice the alcohol. Lightly bitter in the finish in a good way.
Review by Florian Becker
Quite fruity rum with power, the alcohol is super well integrated with the rest, and the finish is a hyper pleasant citrus one..!!!!!! Very good rum
Review by X-Savior
Note: Glass Cork is very difficult to remove so be very careful. On the Rocks: On the nose it has a strong Oak, Floral and Fruit aroma with pleasant spices. Taste was an immediate and strong hit of spice with leather and strong pleasant burn. Finish has a long lingering leather taste with some bitterness creeping in. This is a very exciting and unique rum… as soon as I tasted it the first words I said was “wow!”. There is some nice complex flavours happening but there is no ignoring the fact it is 62.8% and it lets you know that. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose it has a mild sweetness. Taste has some sweetness that changes into a leather and slight bitterness. Finish is shorter with very mild leather notes. Mixed did wash out some of the complexity, this is a very special rum to be enjoyed not mixed.
Review by ZeroCool
Bold Sipper, long, lingering, cognac coats mouth and stays behind to tell its story. Do not mix
