Blind tasting, therefore sensibly without the usual photo. Nose: inconspicuous, almost a little perfumed; palate: soft and round, digestible, solid I don't really succeed in assigning countries. Resolution: RX15667 (Now I'm almost glad to have a bottle of this after all. It is astonishing, however, that the rum scored significantly worse in my current blind tasting than in a previous tasting where I knew what I had in my glass. I find this discrepancy interesting for future trials with other rums).

I'll have to taste it under better conditions because when I see the notes it may be me who had a problem. Overall, I found it green, poorly balanced and with a pungent alcohol. I felt like I was tasting an ESB that had problems during fermentation.

Tasted for the first time at ProWein in Düsseldorf. Lots of green apple and herbs (dill?) on the nose. On the palate creamy sweet (in a positive sense) and spicy floral. Some nutmeg and green fruits again. After half an hour the rum opens up and you are rewarded with a great balanced profile. Spicy, some floral and a pleasant sweetness. Alcohol very well integrated.

An interesting savanna. The nose is inconspicuous, the palate starts very leisurely, after the empty attack, fermented fruit comes to the fore, especially apple and pear. Everything seems very flowery, medicinal and artificial. The alcohol is not well integrated. Second tasting: -3 points

Profil très floral sur un Savanna traditionnel. Beaucoup de fraîcheur et une touche de géraniums vraiment sympa. Très agréable, beaucoup de plaisir sur ce rhum mais étrangement plutôt un rhum d'été pour moi.

7,3:On the nose is first of all, floral. Then becomes like a sugar candy with brown sugar and fresh fruit, as some molasses and smoke come into play, menthol and licorice. With aeration, we remain in a certain restraint and a certain elegance, becomes more vegetal with rosemary, grass, is peppery, with an ashy air. 7,3:On the palate, the attack is balanced, roundly smoky with leather, that sets in, with a slight tarry side, brine, waxy. Then spices come in, as pepper, woodiness, is dry. We come across a very black vanilla pod, charred, roasted which seems to be smoking on a toasted oak barrel, some resin, maybe olive join the party, as eucalyptus.So bitterness is inevitable... 7,5:The finish is gently spicy and almost creamy, woody, dry, smoky, waxy, with some plastic, menthol, licorice and vanilla. Well, it needs a lot of rest to become enjoyable...

09.05.2025 Retasting at our local tasting with Hannes from Whisky Watcher. ----- Still a very good rum ----- #4055 I like the design of the label and the price is OK in my mind. Still some way to go to reach a Grand Arôme ☺️ Fruity with light wood and some light varnish notes i love the caramel on the palate. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up more caramel and candied fruits.

better than expected 😊 Typical Savanna DNA, but traditional... As already noted, a restrained nose, which fortunately does not continue on the palate. Nice fruit and good complexity. Nice sipper, but not much more.
