Rum Nation Savanna Small Batch Rare Rums Grand Arôme 2006
Glue, overripe tropical fruit and varnish hit first, then it turns meaty and roasted — bacon, leather, licorice and a dark, grassy molasses underneath. This is full Grand Arome Savanna from Reunion, 59.7% and 12 years in. Several tasters call it the best Rum Nation Savanna they've had, though a few find the palate turns a touch bitter and metallic next to the gorgeous nose.
- Funky overripe esters
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Complex evolving nose

Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Big, funky Grand Arome with meaty oak Loved by funk fans — intense, fruity esters, roasted wood and licorice with the alcohol well integrated. A few note a bitter, slightly metallic edge on the palate and some hollow spots.

Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Among my favorites!An intense and balanced rum with the alcohol beautifully integrated. Finally an affordable rum with phenomenal quality.On the nose and palate well marked aromas of barrel, olive, cherry/plum and roast.Currently the best rum I have tasted. Although Carones have that inimitable tar scent that I love, this one has an incredible and complex aromatic bouquet that makes for a very long tasting experience. Endless persistence. Magical!
Review by Oliver
In der Nase röstig, dunkel und „fleischig“. Am Gaumen kommt dann die typisch vergorene Fruchtigkeit dazu. Tolles Aromenspiel!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I really like the grand arome releases because they are truly grand. This one was standing on the table next to two other rums airing and it didn't take long for me to sniff this one out. The nose is fruity with varnish, wood, leather and licorice. The empty glass is even better after a while. The palate balanced very well with wood and fruit trailed by and licorice and light notes of medicine and tobacco. The finish is long and woody with dried fruit and light tobacco.
Review by Agricoler
Für mich der beste der drei getesteten Savanna. Die deutlich verschlossenste Nase. Im Geschmack sehr schön Komplex ordentlich Leder und Ester.Aber auch schöne Frucht. Im Abgang die schönste Olivenstein Note.
Review by Natascha og Aske
Excellent rum with many dimensions of flavours and a nose that develops as you keep comming back. And the taste changes and opens up on the palate as the rum passes.
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
En rejse fra en duft af kødsaft, til en smag af en læderindbunden antikvarisk bog der hænger længe efter med noget jeg forbinder med pipesovs med en svag metallisk tone - interessant. Nok ikke noget jeg får min kone til at synes om. Man nyder sit glas og venter så et par dage inden man tager det næste
