CDI Savanna Reunion (Bottled for Denmark) 2004
Opinion splits on this one: the nose gets real love — green apple, menthol, yellow fruits, caramel and a hit of solvent — but plenty of tasters feel the palate goes thin and watery, "verwässert" as several put it. A few find dark chocolate, fig and tobacco depth; others call it a decent sipper and little more. An 18-year Savanna cane-juice rum at cask strength that promises more than the mouth delivers.
The community says- Fruity, mentholic nose
- Well-integrated alcohol

How does CDI Savanna Reunion (Bottled for Denmark) 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Lovely nose, thin watery palate Great nose, weaker palate is the recurring verdict: fruity and mentholic up front, but many find it thin and watery mid-palate. Good, not the best Savanna out there.

Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity with green apple and some menthol, as we continue with caramel and bourbon yellow fruits, still mixed with solvents and some petrol. The air brightens with waxy sugar cane juice, ripe banana and rubber, tobacco, as it becomes darker, roasted with some smoke and candied fruits, chocolate, marzipan or almond. There is little spiciness when well rested and floral notes, as it is nicely rounded. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is fruity and briny with yellow and dried fruits, becomes a bit smoky and chocolaty, then spicy. The sugar cane is tasty, a bit mineral and waxy, as ripe banana joins.The wood comes noticeable and tannic. Rest brings out a green apple and menthol, then mint and some tobacco, as the rhum is dry now. After a while, the palate goes into the red fruits, as currants and roasted notes with pastries. Very tasty. 8,3:The finish is long, woody with tannins, menthol, dry, the sugar cane is still juicy and a bit mineral, fruity with yellow fruits We get some chocolate, pastries and tobacco with little smoke. There is some brine left.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
A wealth of dark chocolate, dried figs, orange and violets spills out of the glass. The alcohol is extremely well integrated and slowly releases notes of star anise, marzipan, apricot, fig and tobacco
Review by Timo Groeger
I like it, it's another difficult to recognize nose. For much you have menthol, alcohol and solvent here. The alcohol then disappears somewhat on the palate, as the rum comes across as watered down. Otherwise, menthol again.
Review by Mentalo
Qualitativ kein schlechter Rum, aber für Savanna Verhältnisse auch etwas langweilig. Bisschen Frucht, bisschen Kräuter, bisschen Gewürze. Insgesamt wenig Tiefe. Gibt halt deutlich Besseres von denen.
Review by Rumpalumpa
An der Nase zunächst nur wenig hinter dem Alkohol zu erkennen. Trockene Kräuter und etwas Karamell. Später kommt Ahornsirup dazu. Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol dann aber deutlich weniger im Weg. Angenehm süßlich aber eher herb und bitter.
Review by RumTaTa
Nase sehr typisch für Savanna. Am Gaumen sehr alkoholisch und kratzig. Außerdem sehr Fass-betont. Nachklang wieder besser und ausgewogener. In Summe gut aber längst nicht das beste, was die Destillerie zu bieten hat.
Review by SaibotZtar
Good sipper... more unfortunately not .
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Eine weitere belanglose Abfüllung von CDI. Gut trinkbar, aber halt nicht mehr. Etwas Kräuter, etwas Süße. Im Ergebnis wie Vielfruchtmarmelade: von allem etwas, aber nichts Gescheites dabei. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Sample reicht.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
OK but not particularly outstanding. Seems a bit thin in the finish... Alcohol is also not particularly well integrated...
