Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 2 2012
Best sipped neat to catch the floral, fruit-salad nose everyone keeps coming back to: peach, apple, mango, candied sugarcane and a grassy agricole freshness. This is a Savanna column-still juice rum given a Herr ester-cask finish. Lovely to smell, but several tasters found the palate a touch thin and short for what the Herr cask promised. One reviewer summed it up: a typical Reunion rum, and a good one.
- Floral fruity nose
- Peach and mango
- Grassy agricole freshness

How does Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 2 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Floral, fruity Reunion agricole, slightly thin palate Most people love the floral, overripe-fruit nose but feel the palate runs thin and the finish ends too soon. A pleasant Reunion agricole that doesn't quite hit the heights its Herr finish suggests.

Review by Morgan Garet
Nez très médicinal au 1er abord sur le cirage, le menthol et un côté métallique. Après ouverture cela devient sucré et fruité sans réussir nommer ces fruits. La bouche attaque avec des notes de miel de sucre, l'acidité de l'ananas et une fraîcheur végétale. Des notes de vieux bois, des épices et le cirage donnent tout son caractère à ce rhum. Ma finale est très longue sur des notes boisées et herbacées. Un rhum complexe et élégant qui garde une grande gourmandise en même temps.

This is a typical Reunion rum and it's a very good one.
Review by Arthur Moreau
Un savanna léger, fruité et floral avec beaucoup plus de sagesse que certains de ces pairs à l’image des carpes sur la boîte.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leckerer traditionelle Agricole savanna mit grand arome Herr finish. Sehr angenehm zu trinken, mild und aromatisch. Könnte aber insgesamt etwas mehr komplex sein. Hatte ich mir etwas mehr von erwartet!
