Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme 2002
Don't expect a clean, fresh cane spirit — this Savanna Grand Arôme leads with acetone and nail varnish, then settles into overripe pineapple, strawberry yogurt, cinnamon and a menthol finish a few tasters keep coming back to. The 57.8% carries it without scorching. Some find it a touch watery mid-palate and wish it had more depth, but the funk-and-fruit core is the draw.
- Overripe fruit funk
- Menthol finish
- Esters and complexity

How does Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme 2002 taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Funky, overripe-fruit Reunion rum with menthol finish Loved by Savanna fans for its rotten-fruit funk, esters and minty finish. A few feel the ABV holds back and that it lacks the depth of higher-proof releases.

Review by alex
Really delicious. A very expressive nose, with a nice smell of cognac, spices and ripe fruits. That we find in mouth. Alcohol very well integrated
Review by Righrum
Impressive savanna grand arome, with usual funky traits of vinyl and strawberries, plus the usual complexity sustained by the abv. Esters are noticeable, but also a fresh side is clearly emerging while drinking
Review by Mirco
Typical Grand Arome, as one is accustomed to from Savanna. More power would have done the bottling good to get a higher rating. New bottlings around 65% are clearly more complex.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really horny relaxed grand arome Savanna. Strawberry, menthol bubblegum, cinnamon, pineapple full broadside.

#4168 If you like Savanna you're going to like this one as well. Nice and intense with some funk. Lots of fruit in the profile and I'd go as far as saying rotten fruit 😊 Love the menthol in the finish.

Ein hervorragender Savanna
Review by jems5
Leger acétone alcool bien présent fibre de canne à sucre notes végétales retours de cognac aux œufs sec astringent et finale un peu camphrée
Review by Oliver
Toller Grand Arôme mit angenehmen Alkoholgehalt.
Review by cigares
Un nez de vernis, de banane, d’herbes médicinales et avec un léger acétone. L’entrée de bouche est vive, mais aussitôt un peu acqueuse, les fruits tapissent ensuite la cavité buccale avec du menthol et d’autres végétaux. La finale est plus courte que prévu avec un côté un peu bonbon. En bref un rhum intéressant, mais il manque de complexité et l’alcool est un petit peu trop présent à mon goût.
