Savanna Grand Arôme - Série kraft 2006

Broadly liked, with one honest quibble: most tasters call it fruity, balanced and warm, while a Savanna regular notes the high-ester profile has less punch than other Grand Arômes. Expect raspberry, apple and orange peel, a spiced backbone of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a leathery, slightly roasted edge from Cognac-cask aging. At 56.5% it stays composed rather than aggressive.

The community says
  • Fruity and balanced
  • Warm baking spice
  • But: Ester less expressive

Summarized by AI from 29 community reviews.

Fruity, spiced, balanced Reunion high-ester rum Most tasters love how fruity and balanced this Grand Arôme is, with warm spice and old-leather notes. The one catch: fans of bigger Savanna esters find it slightly restrained.

A really good Grand Arôme and well worth the price tag. Well balanced and fruity with nice spices and a warm palate. Nice and intense on the nose and palate. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some pastry notes.

8.4/10

Good Grand Arôme, somewhat toasty, moreover, the Hochester profile lacks the expressiveness of other Savanna GAs. But that is criticism at a high level, the rum remains a very fine drop.
