Savanna The Wild Island Édition - Cascade 2007
Cask-lovers are the right audience here: this 13-year Savanna leans hard on its Cognac and Port aging. Expect a basket of red fruits — strawberry, cherry, blackberry — with dark chocolate, leather, licorice and a peppery, vinous edge. Several drinkers note the wood takes over, muting Savanna's usual pineapple-and-violet funk. Balanced and warm, but the finish runs shorter than the nose promises.

How does Savanna The Wild Island Édition - Cascade 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 77 community reviews.
Fruity, Port-driven Savanna with peppery wood Well-liked as a fruity, spice-and-Port Savanna, but a recurring gripe: the Cognac/Port casks dominate and the finish stays medium-short. Not the strongest in the Chai Humide line for some.

Together with DomM we tasted a few Savanna today. Many thanks to Johannes for the samples. The biggest disappointments were the RX232 and the RX11264. My personal favorite was the RX9608. The RX11034 and the RX11515 just made it over the 8 points.

Relatively dry savanna. Chocolatey-vanilla on the palate with cherries.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I definitely expected more here, rather disappointing. It's delicious, drinks absolutely well, but the cognac and port cask have simply gained the upper hand and the pineapple, violet, strawberry and generally fruity notes have almost no chance of coming through... Good thing I only took a sample! Unfortunately the weakest chai humide overall... The relatively low alcohol content is also a disappointing factor here. Not a bad rum but absolutely no chance compared to Chai humide 8y and 10y or the Savanna Madras!
Review by Mirco
Rote Früchte in der Nase, vor allem Erdbeere und Kirsche, dazu Vanille, feines Holz und pfeffrige Wärme. Am Gaumen dunkle Schokolade mit vinösem Unterton aus dem Port Finish, der Tiefe und Spannung bringt. Sauber strukturiert, guter Zug, mittellanger Abgang mit würzigen Akzenten und roter Frucht.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A balanced and fine thing. It reminds me starkly of a Trident chewing gum from my youth. Various fruits with partly leathery, slightly smoky, woody notes. Unfortunately, there is a lot of alcohol in the forefront of the nose over time.
Review by Jakob
Surprisingly sweet rum that develops intense chocolate-vanilla notes on the palate in combination with tropical, slightly fermented fruits. Pleasant.
Review by Tim
Great Savanna with port finish that adds the red and sour berries, chocolate and delicious spices. A special feature is found in the finish: herbal notes like tea join the roasty coffee and the other flavors. A tad too acidic in the finish, which gives a few points off. Overall, however, not bad :-)
Review by DomM
Even after quite some time to breath, the nose presents itself rather closed-up. I get wood and leather notes alongside red fruits/berries with a hint of cherries. In no way bad, but not very present overall unfortunately. On the palate, the port finish is more distinguishable for me. But in a good way. Red fruits, cacao, leather and Christmas spices make for a rich and deep experience. Very nice overall.
Review by mto75
schöne Nase mit roten Früchten, Vanille, Milchschokolade, Leder, altem Fass und Lakritze. Am Gaumen Vanille, Kirschbaumholz und ein leichter pfeffriger Einschlag. Das Portweinfinish hätte ich mir noch etwas ausgeprägter gewünscht, ich nehme überwiegend die vorherige Lagerung im Cognac-Fass wahr.
Review by Johannes
Nice complexity, but I would have expected more.
Review by Thunderbird
A good Savanna with beautiful fruit! The palate is mildly pleasant and also fruity! A slight woody spice to finish. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is slightly woody, herbal and unfortunately too short! Very tasty ! 2nd tasting compared to cask 985, Here it loses significantly! Especially after a standing time is almost only alcohol to be perceived, so I deduct a few points
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Belle bouche grâce au finish porto. Pleins de fruits rouges et une fin sur le poivre. Toujours un plaisir de remettre un nez dans ce beau Savanna !
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna équilibré, avec de belles notes épicées qui vont de pair avec le boisé, le cuir et les notes toastées. Viennent ensuite des notes fruitées, apportées allègrement par le fût de cognac et de porto, allant de l’abricot, aux fruits tropicaux et aux fruits secs, le tout en passant par les fruits rouges (cerise). Il y a une belle harmonie des arômes. En bouche, on retrouve un rhum expressif et qui maîtrise son sujet. Le cognac et le porto donnent la rondeur que génèrent les fruits (rouges notamment) tandis que les épices et les notes toastées et caramélisées apportent de la gourmandise. L’alcool y est très bien intégré, offrant un bel équilibre dans le rapport de force. On retrouve une belle finale ornée d’épices, de réglisse, de fruits rouges et exotiques, avec une pointe d’amertume sur le café, enveloppée d’un boisé un peu plus astringent et alcoolique. L’alchimie opère bien et propose une expérience olfactive et gustative très évolutive. Un Savanna traditionnel bien travaillé et qui met son terroir à l’honneur.
Review by cigares
Calendrier de l’Avant Rum Friendly Club, jour 22. Un nez étroit de bois de cèdre (boîte à cigares), d’herbes sèches, d’agrumes, de vanille et de vieille corde de chanvre. La bouche aussi est plutôt étroite mais les saveurs sont expressives, on retrouve le bois de cèdre et les herbes sèches qui dominent des fruits complexes, la vanille et un côté vineux. La finale est marquée par le bois de cèdre, toujours lui, des herbes mais aussi de la menthe qui donne ici une belle fraîcheur à l’ensemble.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 6 Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Light wood, fruits, floral, light citrus, faint polish. Palate Warm, round, light wood, citrus, light floral, light salty, light banana, spice, faint polish. Finish Medium long, light wood, citrus, light salty, faint olive.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili.
Review by Agricoler
Guter Rum der mich nicht vollends überzeugt. Schöne Rote Früchte die ein wenig gedörrt wirken. Im Geschmack gut holzig,würzig,leicht Bitterkeit. Das Finish ist sehr lecker aber nicht so mein Fall. Tip top
Review by RumTaTa
Guter Savanna, Nase und Gaumen recht verhalten, da hatte ich ein wenig mehr erwartet. Nachklang dafür recht intensiv.
Review by tojo
In Geruch und Geschmack ein typischer Savanna mit vielen roten Früchten, einer angenehmen Süße, leichte Gewürznoten und Leder. Hier kommen zudem Portweinnoten zur Geltung. Abgang eher kurz.
Review by DosenZorn
Wow was für ein Fruchtkorb einem an der Nase entgegenströmt ist der Wahnsinn. Rote Früchte, Wald-Beeren, Kirschen, dazu etwas feuchtes frisches Holz und süße Schokolade und dezenter Politur-/Lackgeruch. Später lassen die Früchte nach und Gewürze bekommen die Oberhand. Daran könnte ich ewig riechen. Am Gaumen geht es dann in eine ähnliche Richtung nur das die Holznoten klarer hervorstechen als die Früchte. Ich bin Großer Savanna-Fan und der hier spielt in der Oberliga weit oben mit. Langer Abgang und top integrierter Alkohol!
