Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
A rum with marked scents of olives and iodine. I feel like I'm breathing in the sea crashing on the rocks. It is really strong and leaves no room for too many nuances. Not for everyone. A summer rum! Definitely very suitable for cocktails of a certain level.I think, however, that whites, like wines, should be rated in a separate classification because they are too different from barricaded rums. This rating is high, but clearly cannot be compared to an aged rum because it is a whole different thing.

A small Savanna Tasting @ home.
This one was the winner of the tasting!
It‘s very similar to a HERR (still the best mark for me). Fruity, fresh, glue, berries, fluid gummi bears, olive, meaty etc.
The meaty notes will almost disappear, if you add some drops of water and give it some time to rest. = Best way to drink it neat
Resume: Creol
Review by Benoit Mahe
A really good white. The finish is long and smoky. The profile is exuberant.
Review by John Coffey
Very divisive as white rum... Extremely iodized, it's crazy.

anderer batch und wieder komplett anders... Speck, Olive und Ananas und Koriander mit Kardamom. mega weird aber irgendwie auch geil🤣
Review by Vincent D
I wouldn't taste it at breakfast and I think a bottle would be too much, but I'm glad I repeated the tasting at RhumFest. The brine and olive notes, which take over from the esters and fruit, are quite surprising :)

Très bon dans le genre des lontants de savanna, mais je préfère le herr 57
Review by Baboune
Incredible...Sweet with the cannelé and salty with the olive in less than 3 minutes in the mouth.
Review by Daniel
Hochesterpotpourri-funky. Früchte, Banane, Speck, Röstaromen, Kuhmist. Intensiv und komplex. Das macht Spaß. Sehr wässrig, Früchte zu Beginn, dann wieder dominant Kuhmist. Kuhmist hält sich lange und wird ergänzt von Rauchnoten. Aromenerlebnis, intensiv, das mag ich. Allerdings ein wenig wild und alkoholisch. Da ist der 9jährige mit 46% wesentlich gefälliger.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna plutôt spécial qui joue sur le côté barré que peut avoir le profil de la Réunion. On y trouve un nez puissant et expressif avec des notes minérales et métalliques, puis des arômes plus végétaux sur l’herbe, la terre et l’olive. Les fruits et les notes médicinales (esters, colle, polish) viennent ensuite, avec un arrière-nez étrangement fumé. Un profil pour le moins original original. En bouche, l’attaque est d’autant plus spéciale. On a un mélange de saveurs sur la tomate, les notes herbacées, fumées et salées, des fruits (olive notamment) mais aussi des notes qui rappellent le côté métallique du nez. C’est sec, pour ne pas dire déroutant. L’alcool aurait pu être un peu mieux intégré. La finale est assez longue, amère, métallique et âpre. On y décèle des notes de cuivre, des esters, un côté fumé et salé, et surtout le côté végétal et terreux qui revient tout au long de la dégustation. Un profil assez troublant, qui fait qu’on aime ou on déteste.
