Savanna Rhum Traditionnel Le Must
Honey, ripe pear and banana up front, then toasted oak, vanilla and a little coffee-chocolate bitterness on the way out. A small splash of Grand Arôme adds tropical fruit and light funk. Most people find it round, mild and genuinely easy to drink — the recurring gripe is that at 45% it feels watered down and thin, with flavors that fade fast. A gentle door into Savanna.
The community says- Round and balanced

How does Savanna Rhum Traditionnel Le Must taste?
Aggregated from 229 community reviews.
Mild, fruity Savanna entry, a touch thin Members agree it's a friendly, well-blended entry to Savanna — round and fruity with real balance. The near-universal catch: too diluted and thin, with a short finish. Many wish it were bottled stronger.

26.09.2025 Tasting with Savanna, while in Paris for the Whisky Live 2025. ---------- A bit sad that they watered it so far down because some of the flavors are really light. Would have preferred a higher ABV for more powerful flavours. Fruity with floral notes and roasted wood but a bit too light.

For me, a beginner's guide to savannarum! It offers a lot, but unfortunately only in the beginning! It's too thin to be really convincing, maybe as a sipper it still fits. Tasted again on 26.09.25 at the RumX-Savanna tasting
Review by Eric Frechin
Very good for starting to discover Savanna rums, especially for a beginner. It's easy to drink thanks to its roundness of fruit, caramel, vanilla, and light woodiness. The share of grand arôme gives it a bit of complexity without overwhelming.
Review by Rene Nielsen
Tasting 19/4-24 Peters vin. Nose: Some different flowery notes, caramel, a little spicies. Tast: A light rum, some Spice, little grassy notes, little smoke. The abv should have been higher. Finish: some light smoke, bitternes and pepper.
Review by Galli33
Thanks to the RumX Team for this great opportunity!! Unfortunately, I missed the only tasting due a delayed flight… This one took the third place in my tasting, very fruity, with some nice notes of furniture waxes, bitter orange and honey. A really nice daily driver, without looling on the price tag!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wirklich schöne Nase nach reifen Äpfeln, tropischen Früchten und intensiven Gewürzen und Lebkuchen . Recht vielversprechend. Mir persönlich etwas zu holzig, kräuterig dann am Gaumen und auch gleichzeitig zu dünn. Im Abgang kommen leicht salzige Noten zusammen mit Apfelchips, weißer Schokolade und Tanninen vom Eichenfass. Ein paar % mehr Alkohol hätten hier sicherlich geholfen die Aromen etwas zu intensivieren. Trifft nicht ganz meinen Geschmack. Ist aber definitiv ein easy sipping rum.... Guter Einsteiger.
Review by Jakob
Savanna Masterclass for RumX July 2024/September 2025: An der Nase mit einladender Frische und Fruchtaromatik, die nicht bis in die für Grand Arômes üblichen Extreme geht. Am Gaumen verlängert sich das Aromenspektrum, und erhält noch etwas herbe Fassnoten dazu. Ein ansprechender Standard-Rum, dem es nicht an Reiz fehlt, und der auch dank seinem Preisniveau einen exzellenten Einstieg in die Savanna-Welt bietet.
Review by Christian Rudt
RumX Savanna Masterclass 12.7. Even today, the le must makes a very round impression, a light sipping rum that would benefit from a little less water. This leaves us with a very good impression and the hope of a somewhat stronger version in the future First tasting: Great, slightly medicinal nose, very roundly blended and correspondingly nice to drink
Review by Tim
I really liked this Savanna rum, the nose is the best thing about this rum! Nice combination of fruit, spices, chocolate, and even herbs in the finish. However, on the palate, it feels too thin and somewhat sharp at the same time. For the price, the overall package works, even though the quality level is obviously higher elsewhere.
Review by cigares
Savanna Masterclass for RumX 2024. The nose is vegetal, with dried fruit, lemon and vanilla. There's a hint of dilution on the first palate, then roast, dried fruit, lemon and fruit arrive with a hint of spice. The finish is rather short, but surprisingly long for dilution. There's a roasted note with fruit and citrus and a light woodiness. A very fine finish for a rum that is, alas, too diluted, but nonetheless very well made, easy to drink and well balanced.
Review by zabo
Finally found some time to taste it again. Once again, a big thank you to the RumX team for the great masterclass, during which I had to say goodbye after a few minutes. As for the rum itself, a nice easy sipper that would have benefited from a few more turns.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, the first impression is of a small fruit salad in syrup. At first, pear, mango and cherry are quite fresh and pale, protecting themselves in the shade of a small film of crunchy sugar. With aeration, the lightness and freshness are retained, but the fruit is enveloped in a toasty woodiness, itself covered by a thin layer of sweet-spiced honey. This light patina tempers the toasty character of the oak, preserving the delicacy of the fruit.The second nose is nicer-8,5. 8,2:The mouth is more complex than we could have imagined, and shows several facets in fractions of a second. Let's try slow motion to see what happens. First, the toasty woodiness sends up a small cloud of sweet spices, which come to rest on a bed of roasted, caramelized pecans. Then, the fruit salad encountered on the nose is baked, the fruit becomes stronger, more tropical, more caramelized, its pits resurfacing.Light smokiness arises. 8:The finish is both roasted and pastry-like, with pits and red fruit tannins, followed by a layer of ripe exotic fruit that maintains the length.
Review by SaibotZtar
Fruchtig frische Nase mit etwas Vanille und Honig , etwas Banane und Anklang von Mango. Hier spürt man die Verdünnung sehr deutlich... Anfangs wirkt er fasst wässrig... dann kommt doch noch etwas Fruchtigkeit Vanille und leichte Holznoten. Alles in allem ok aber nix was man braucht nichtmal zum Mixen ein must have für mich jedenfalls.
Review by Oliver
Toller Einstiegs-Savanna mit schöner Kombination aus rostigen Noten (Kaffee, Toffee, …) und fruchtigen Assoziationen. Der Grand Arôme Anteil bringt eine schöne Komplexität in den Blend. Angenehme Trinkstärke.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Tasted at the 11th GRF in the Savanna Tasting: a newcomer to the Savanna world, nothing more... Update in the RumX-Masterclass: Beautiful blend that delivers the typical Savanna characteristics. Blend of Traditional and Grand Arome
Review by Serge
Re-tasting the Savanna Masterclass we missed ... Immediately worlds better than the Métis. Spicy, mature, caramelly, full-bodied. You can drink it on its own, but I still think of it more as a mixer.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Nummer zwei im RumX Tasting und auch für mich die zweite Verkostung nach dem GRF. Während ich den weißen Metis wegen seines speziellen Profils sehr schätze ist dieser hier etwas sehr unscheinbar - trotz eines Anteils an Grande Arome. Der Rum ist zweifellos gut gemacht, aber ich wüsste nicht, was ich mit ihm anfangen soll. Pur ist er mir zu simpel und dafür zu holzig, gemixt ist er zu teuer.
Review by TheJackDrop
"Un must have ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Boisé, Fruité, Vanillé, surement un peu de pain d'épices, pourquoi pas un peu de poire. En bouche : Boisé, Vanillé, Zeste d'orange, Fruité La finale plutot orientee vers : Fût, Chêne, Chocolat, cognac évidemment" > Elle est désormais arrivée à la maison ! Edit : soirée RumX X Savanna : toujours aussi bon, finale plus fraiche qu'a mon souvenir.
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this rum at the Sweden Rum Fest 2026. It’s a small-batch rum that’s a blend of traditional column-distilled molasses rum with some high-ester Grande Arome rum added. It’s tropical aged for up to 9 years in ex-Cognac casks. The nose is complex, fruity, sweet, spicy, woody, buttery, ripe and slightly funky with scents of banana, pear, peach, citrus, apple, honey, caramel, vanilla, ginger and oak. At the palate it’s elegant, complex, balanced, sweet, fruity, spicy and woody with flavors of honey, caramel, toffee, orange, mango, vanilla, pepper, oak, chocolate, cocoa and coffee. They finish rather long.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Easy sipper aber insgesamt zu wenig spannend. In der Nase habe ich hier wieder diese Agave-Tequila Noten, die alles übertönen. Der Geschmack nimmt einem dann mit auf einen Waldspaziergang: Tannennadeln, Harz, Erde. Abgang passt mir nicht so.
