Rum Nation Savanna Small Batch Rare Rums Grand Arôme 2007
Drink this neat and slow — at 62.6% it warms from deep inside, so small sips reward you. It's a classic Savanna Grand Arôme: glue and nail polish on the nose, then overripe strawberry, pineapple and cherry with a big menthol-eucalyptus note several tasters compared to Fisherman's Friend. Wood and spice fill out the long finish. Open the bottle and the whole room smells of it.
- Overripe fruit esters
- Cooling menthol note
- Long intense finish

Aggregated from 96 community reviews.
Funky, minty Grand Arôme for sipping neat A loved high-ester Réunion bottling — fruit, glue and a cooling mint streak over real wood. Most rate it highly; a few find it a touch one-dimensional next to other Savanna 2007s.

Review by Galli33
I really enjoyed this one 😎 Cool ester notes paired with various fruits (strawberry, pineapple, cherry) and some menthol minty notes, which reminds me on some fisherman‘s friend 😜😎 At the finish I found also a nice note of chamomille in the background😬🤤🫨
Review by HenryL
Unbelievably good! in the finish as if you had just sucked an Em-Eukal candy ready.the development from opening the bottle to the aftertaste is from front to back really nice! Mint / Menthol / Eucalyptus dominate the overall picture, with light strawberry tones in the background.one of my favorite rums so far!
Review by Enriko Špinler
I've heard a lot about Savanna rums, but only recently got to sample them. And I can see why this rum has a high rating. I don't like "medicines", but here I liked it extremely 😀 But these aromas and tastes later subsided and I got a beautifully complex rum in the glass, where I could smell wood, menthol, tea, fruit, esters and dark chocolate. A beautiful aroma that changes in the glass, a perfect complex taste and a long finish that will warm you up. I will definitely try other rums from this brand.

This is a tasting from 2021 that ended in me buying a bottle for my shelf 😊 A dry and intens rum on the palate. Very well balanced between ABV, overripe fruit and the light wood with some roasted notes.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Bottle as a replacement for the recently tasted and me electrifying, but only expensive to purchase RN Savanna 2007 12y (RX680) bought, and I can blissfully say, this rum is in no way inferior to his one year less continental stored brother (with previously also 10 years of tropical storage). A really great, recommendable rum, very nice red-fruity and strong. Update 2023-04-01: And now the bottle is unfortunately empty ... Had really already grown fond of this strong rum. It just does everything right. Very characteristic is already the smell that the rum immediately exudes when pulling off the elegant glass cork. You immediately imagine yourself on a tropical island in the Indian Ocean. Newly I discovered during this tasting the presence of certain esters in the nose. But only quite subtly, underlining the attractive overall impression. It definitely remains at 89 points. Take care, my friend.

Review by Dr.Django
Savanna Grand Arome steht drauf und genau das ist hier auch drin! Was für ein geiler Rum! Was für ein toller Rum, der seine größte Stärke am Gaumen hat. Mit richtig Power und einem von Rauch umwobenen prall gefülltenFruchtkorb. Der Abgang ist lang, könnte aber noch lönger sein xD Der Kurs für dieses Bottling ist leider in die Höhe geschossen. Vielen Dank für das Sample @Gunnar!

For me, one of the best Savanna Grand Arome. Who likes the profile is right here and also the P / L ratio is very good.

Absoluter Under-the-radar Savanna. 🤫
Review by Mentalo
Starker Grand Arome. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden, tolle Fruchtnoten (Erdbeere,Ananas) mit einer feinen Mentholnote. Erinnert mich auch ein bisschen an Eisbonbons. Insgesamt sehr fein ausbalanciert..
Review by Serge
Very tasty Grand Arôme. I am very happy to have bought this bottle. Update: After a long time in the glass again and still delicious. The oxidation has rounded it off a little - but still very clearly Grand Arôme 🤤
Review by Timo Groeger
Kneipe Alte Post Witten Februar 2025. Hier ein klasse Savanna von Rum Nation. Schöne Nase bestehend aus Klebstoff, Menthol und Minze. Am Gaumen dann viel Ester, wirkt vergoren, komplex und überreif. Sehr lecker.
Review by Mike H.
I really wasn’t expecting this rum to be on such a high level (nose and taste wise) as I never had much interest in sampling Savannas. This rum totally changed my opinion. The mix of overripe fruit, tea, glue and mint is extremely lovely to the nose. I could smell the glass for hours. The taste adds a nice complexity and wood. Really amazing 🤩
Review by Christian Rudt
Das zweite Wichtel sample von Moritz. Einmal probiert kam schnell Kaugummi durch und Savanna war gesetzt. Danke 😊 In der Nase einiges an Tee, wir haben Klebstoff etwas Frucht. Ich mags andere würden wohl nur die Nase rümpfen 😄 Am Gaumen gleich Erdbeeren, Kaugummi dann einiges an überreifer Frucht und Gewürz. Spürbar Menthol und Minze und in der Tat auch leicht fleischig im Geschmack. Finish dann wunderbar angenehm warm wieder die Erdbeere, vorwiegend trocken. Alkohol ist entsprechend des hohen abv Auch deutlich wahrnehmbar, es empfehlen sich also sehr kleine Schlücke, was den Genuss nur erhöht Ein Klasse Rum und auch mein letzter für dieses Jahr. Danke an die Community die diese Vielfalt möglich macht.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Typical Savanna profile with a lot of boom.Similar, but for not quite as good as the Savanna 2007 from CDI or the Thunderstruck. I found them both rounder. Slightly bitter on the palate.
Review by Martin Augustin
A great Grand Arome. Combines a certain moisture with menthol and herbs. Reminds me somehow also of tasty gummy bears. Great representative from La Réunion.
Review by Basti
Die beiden 2007er Grand Aromen im Crosstasting. Diese Abfüllung ist deutlich runder und zugänglicher als der parallel verkostet GA. Die Nase lädt ein mit vielen Gewürzen, etwas Klebstoff, Beeren, Kaugummi und Karamell, später auch Schokolade und süße Mango. Am Gaumen relativ viel Holz und Gewürzen aber auch tropische Früchte. Der Rx680 ist an der Nase deutlich brachialer und erinnert mich stark an die NRJ TECC/TECA. Ordentlich Klebstoff, Lack, aber auch Menthol, Zimt, tropische Früchte, Kaugummi, Ester und weitere Gewürze. Am Gaumen leicht adstringierend und bitter, Kaugummi, Ester, Karamell, Gewürze und tropische Früchte. Beides tolle Abfüllungen, die sich jedoch sehr unterscheiden und definitiv nochmal in Ruhe (ohne die Savanna HERRs) probiert werden.
