Thé best savanna I tasted so far ! unique!
Review by Leo Krüper
Wow. Everything happens there. Long Pond Teca is the most similar style I can think of. Just young and fruity. Great stuff, there's so much going on at the back. Eucalyptus, incense, bananas, red cherries, esters, chemicals, meat, smoke. Wow. The price is completely justifiable.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Grilled pineapple, neat ester. Alcohol wonderfully integrated. Simply delicious.
Review by mto75
Red fruits (sour cherries, strawberries) and vanilla on the nose, plus chewing tobacco and some menthol. Vanilla, tobacco and barrel on the palate. Long finish. Really good! Reminds me strongly of the CdI Savanna bottled for Gernany (RX308)

Kriste to je jahodo esterová paráda 😍
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb high ester rum from Reunion Island with extraordinary aromatic concentration. The nose is a subtle blend of medicinal notes (glue, esters, nail polish, solvents) with a fruitiness marked by red fruits (cherry, strawberry, raspberry), fresher, mentholated notes, a hint of olive brine, but also a woodiness that leaves on notes of pepper. The whole is well-structured but very well controlled. On the palate, the rum is powerful, but very greedy. Once again, there are notes of red fruit, but also the impression of harlequin candy that gives the palate a strange, bubblegum-like quality. Spices and other spicy notes contrast with the freshness of menthol and olive, while medicinal, fermented and tannic notes leave their mark on the palate. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, intense and equally aromatic. Fruit, funky notes, spice and freshness play off each other in a jumble of aromas. The whole is well structured. A Savanna for the good times, sure to delight enthusiasts.
Review by Simon Leroux
A great rum. A great nose, where the alcohol serves the aromas. The mouth is lively and complicated to decipher, but very successful. At the level of the Jamaicans.
Review by Serge
Compared to the Edition Blanc Herr at a similarly high level but still very different. While the edition blanc achieves a lot with very few aromas, here we are back in savanna aroma overflow - but really really good. For those who can taste it: Yes, yes, yes.
Review by Jarek
Franconian Rum Tasting Gang & Jakob, 2023-07-27 Teil 3: Ja, das ist eindeutig ein HERR, die Erdbeeren sind da, Ananas, Ester. Dazu angenehm würzig und holzig. Sehr komplex, lecker. Gegenüber dem HERR von LMDW etwas zahmer und weniger fruchtig.
Review by Mentalo
Minimal schlechter als LMDW 60 Years und die Restaurant Edition. Da fehlt der Japoniani die Fruchtigkeit. Aber trotzdem sehr guter HERR. Eisbonbon, Minze, Fass, etwas Erdbeere. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden.

"What a monster, a nose full of everything. Ester and red cherries, red fruits other kinds of. A bit of wood and nice. Palate explodes with fruits, herbal fresh notes of awesome. It goes just a bit into it's aging at the end of tasting. A monster and worthy for being the last."
