Olive is the first thing that hits you — briny, savory, unmistakably Savanna — and it runs from nose to finish. Around it sit overripe pineapple, fermented fruit and a nail-polish tang, with a peppery close. This is an unaged, high-ester Grand Arôme, so at 40% it reads bright and fruity rather than heavy. One taster loved it "in a ti-punch," another swears by it for boosting a sauce in the kitchen.

How does Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme taste?
Summarized by AI from 20 community reviews.
Briny, ester-heavy white rum with olive kick Loved by Savanna fans for its wild olive-and-ester character. Most agree it's fascinating but not for every palate, and a few wish it were bottled stronger than 40%.

It's cool to try a Grand Arome unaged. I like it very much. Also great as a mixer.

A Grand Aroma as only Savanna knows how to make. No doubt about the origin of this rum. Olive is present from nose to finish. Lots of fruit as well. A sensation of fermentation. It's very pleasant in ti-punch. Nice neat, from time to time.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Good HERR, but too weak Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili.
Review by Filip Šikula
Pěkná savana. Vůně přezrálého ovoce a lepidla. Celkově je vůně zajímavá a příjemná. Chuťově příjemné, ovocná sladkost s hezky integrovaným alkoholem. Je to ale zbytečně rozředěné což celkové zážitku ubírá na zajímavosti.
Review by Niko
Powerful and numerous aromas but not the most flattering for the tasting, it is not for all the palates... Very long finish on the olive obviously but also the pepper. Nickel in kitchen to boost a sauce.

This is the older and better brother. What a fireworks for 40 percent. The abv really does not hinder it as much as the older one. At first a hint of Cajun BBQ chicken. This later transforms to pineapple and celery. Awesome
