Savanna Origine 1870
Best sipped neat with ten minutes of air, which several tasters say really opens it up. Expect dried herbs, caramel, candied fruit and a spicy, floral lift, with a faint fleur-de-sel edge on the palate. One member called the nose "a freshly mown wild flower meadow." Elegant and balanced — though a few felt it drinks almost too easily for a Savanna.

How does Savanna Origine 1870 taste?
Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Elegant, dry-spicy, floral Reunion sipper People rate it highly and love the floral, dry-spicy character, but several note the palate doesn't quite match the gorgeous nose — very well made, just not the wildest Savanna.

Another lovely Savanna which is here presented in a classy way and it deserves it, because it’s an extremely tasty dry and spicy rum, which after a while in the glass just tastes better and better 👍💪🏻
Review by cigares
Petite dégustation Savanna. Un nez chaud, sec et riche avec des herbes sèches, du caramel, des fruits confits et un côté pimenté, épicé qui lui donne un bel équilibre. Les arômes sont assez peu présents. La bouche monte en puissance très agréablement et dans l’équilibre avec des notes de rancio, de caramel, d’herbes sèches, d’épices et de pâtisseries. Mais je n’y trouve pas toute la complexité du nez. La finale est plutôt longue dans et tout à la fin reste une sorte de caramel amer, de bois et de rancio qui dominent tout. Où sont passés les fruits confits et la complexité promise par le nez ? Cela dit un rhum très bien réalisé et de très belle tenue. Regoûté face à de très beaux Savannas et il me semble un peu faible et trop boisé.
Review by DomM
Very elegant and delicate on the nose. Wood and backing spices accompanied by moderate esters from the GA components. Very good combination of (fresh) fruits and flowers. The blend is very well executed yet the nose is a bit more subtle versus today‘s Savanna line-up. On the palate the blend shows the same attributes: very elegant and balanced. Very enjoyable, yet not overly intense. Almost a tiny bit too „nice“ while of excellent quality.

Review by Dr.Django
Was für eine Aufmachung! Der Rum wird ihr zwar nicht ganz gerecht, erfüllt aber schon die eleganz. Cremig warm, ganz unaufdringlich und dennoch stark fruchtig, blumig, dazu mit dunkler Schokolade. Der Abgang hält mittwllange an und wärmt den Gaumen mit einer angenehm cremigen Süße. Sehr lecker!
Review by Leo Krüper
Lecker, süffig. Sehr rund und harmonisch. Erinnert an Isautier. Nicht zwingend an Savanna. Mir gefällt er, aber er ist nicht was man erwarten würde.
Review by Johannes
Richtig gut! Tolle Komplexität aus einem Traditionellen, dabei aber mehr Ester und schöne Frucht. Perfekt auf den Punkt gebracht!
Review by zabo
This sample snuck into the Savanna Tasting Kit from RumX. Thanks Artur for the sample. Very elegant bottling that tastes good. But the price is really a bit high, probably due to the elaborate packaging.
Review by Mirco
Zeigt eine schöne Kombination aus Frucht, Würze und leichter Holznote. In der Nase reife Früchte, Vanille und etwas Kräuterigkeit, am Gaumen ergänzt durch karamellige Süße und eine feine Bitterkeit. Der Abgang ist mittellang mit würzigen und fruchtigen Akzenten. Insgesamt ein solider und durchaus komplexer Rum, ohne jedoch ein außergewöhnliches Highlight zu setzen.
Review by Schnubbii
Sehr schöner und eleganter Savanna Blend, der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. GA Anteile scheinen durch, aber auch florale Noten. Vom Aromaprofil her ganz klar ein Savanna. Aber keiner, dem man um jeden Preis nach jagen muss.
Review by Gaston NP
Nez excellent mais un peu déçu en bouche, « trop facile à boire » ça reste tout de même un excellent rhum.
Review by Alexandre Van Ham
À laisser aérer une dizaine de minutes pour vraiment l’apprécier à sa juste valeur. Très sympa mais un peu cher

What a nose, like a freshly mown wild flower meadow left do dry in a warm summer. Than there is a flowery peach on the palate that has a hint of Fleur de sel with it. Maritime and warm, almost harsh at the end. Wowsers
