Savanna 2023 Limited Edition HERR 2019
Not the Jamaican funk you might expect — this Réunion high-ester runs on strawberry chewing gum, overripe pineapple and glue, with a solvent-and-red-fruit push that tasters compared to Haribo and Tagada candy. At 57% the alcohol sits surprisingly well. Loud, medicinal, "fun to drink" for the funk crowd. A few felt the 2023 leans more synthetic than older batches.

How does Savanna 2023 Limited Edition HERR 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 69 community reviews.
Intense, candy-and-solvent white high-ester Most funk fans love it — explosive pineapple, strawberry candy and solvent, long finish. The HERR profile divides people, and some found this batch more artificial than earlier ones.

Review by Kasper
Impressive. Level: difficult. Quite a lot of notes for only 626 esters. Good balance with the alkohol. It gives me a Bassets wine gums and metallic umami taste. I think I will be tasting this bottle a lot of times to get my arms around it. Great experience that I don't have quite like it, maybe with a La Perle, but much sweeter and aged than, and a lot more citrus sweets taste to accompany. Absolutely wonderful.

Savanna Masterclass by RumX on 27.09.2024 Thank you for the opportunity to taste these great rums side by side. Now there have been a few more changes for some. Savanna is more complex than expected.

Review by Christian Rudt
Savanna Herr blanc 57. Das ist einfach weißer Rum der Spaß macht. Ich kann hier gar nicht soviel vergleichen wie andere da ich die älteren Versionen kaum oder nicht kenne. Vermutlich gab es da intensivere Abfüllungen, aber wir sind nun Mal im hier und jetzt. Aber auch hier mangelt es nicht an Intensität. Toller Rum und da ich ihn im Daiquiri schon probiert hatte weiß ich das schmeckt einfach nur lecker!
Review by Righrum
Tasted at Rhum Fest Paris 2024. This is one of the savanna I love, the only sidenote is that for a couple of hours after the dram nothing was even noticeable:S Typical Herr, explosive and long lasting in the mouth. I love it
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes taken at Rhum Fest 2024, Quick notes and a bit heavy palate, sorry :) What we have here: amazing esters, but above all, fruit! A rum: powerful, room-filling, strawberry tagada, very fun. Finish: long, intense

Da muss demnächst ein Vergleich her!

Excellent rhum
Review by Thunderbird
The 2023 bottling is once again on top... for me it comes close to the Habiation Velier bottling. Not quite as present on the nose as this one, but almost on a par on the palate. I mixed a cocktail straight away (mojito) and had a real taste sensation. This is how the white HERR must be 🤩 Edit: Tasted again in the Savanna Masterclass. My rating remains
Review by Timo Groeger
Nachverkostung Masterclass Savanna Highlights Ester. Diesmal ein HERR. In der Nase überwiegend Ester und Ananas, aber auch leicht metallisch. Am Gaumen ebenfalls Ester und Ananas, Alkohol könnte aber besser eingebunden sein. Erinnert mich etwas an Obstler. Trotzdem echt gut.
Review by Vincent D
This new HERR seemed better than the previous one. A sensation of better integration of the alcohol. It's extreme and insanely long. Not an everyday drink, but truly unique. Very ripe fruit, esters, light brine. A lot of fun.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Savanna lourd à l’état brut. Le nez est submergé de notes chimiques allant des bonbons Haribo à la fraise aux esters, en passant par la colle, les solvants, des notes métalliques et des fruits trop mûrs (ananas, banane, framboise). On retrouve un côté légèrement épicé qui donne un petit plus à ce nez ultra concentré. L’attaque en bouche est puissante, médicinale et très funky. Les notes d’eau-de-vie, de fruits confits, de fruits tropicaux et de fruits rouges font le show devant les notes végétales et phénoliques. Il pourrait presque se mâcher comme un chewing-gum avec les mêmes saveurs chimiques. L’alcool est très bien intégré dans cet ensemble aromatique et intense. La finale est dans le prolongement de ce qu’on perçoit au nez et en bouche, un concentré de fruits et d’esters en tout genre, mais avec un petit agrément sur les épices, le cuir et des notes confites. Un Savanna qui a tout pour plaire, et qui ne demande qu’à être vieilli pour donner une nouvelle licorne réunionnaise.
Review by Boletus
Der ungereifte HERR ist immer wieder ein Genuss. Bisweilen schimmert es etwas metallisch durch, aber an den nachhaltigen Aromen von Ananas und Beerenfrüchten hat man auch lange Zeit nach dem Runterschlucken noch seine Freude. Savanna Masterclass-Onlinetasting am 27.09.2024, vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.
Review by Tim
Außergewöhnliche Demonstration, wie ein ein High-Ester-Rum außerhalb der Jamaika-Welt aussieht. Intensiv Ananas, Beeren, saure Früchte und einen Hauch pflanzliche Aromen. Im Mund geht es analog weiter und ich finde, dass man diesen weißen Rum auch pur trinken kann.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Ein schöner Abschluss des Savanna Tastings. Wieder ein sehr leckerer Herr mit typischen Ester Geschmack und auch die Erdbeeren sind wieder zu erkennen. Vielen Dank an RumX und an Oliver für dieses super Tasting
Review by Martin Spooner
Wahnsinnig starke Nase. Sehr fruchtig. Die Ananas haut voll rein. Der Geschmack hat es in sich. Die Ananas ist fast schon überdimensioniert. Im Vergleich zum lontan würde ich eher den grand Arome bevorzugen.
Review by DomM
On the nose this one turns up the classic strawberry and menthol candy/chewing gum notes, really. Very intense and ticking the HERR boxes for me. Similar picture on the palate with lots of funk. This is genuinely fun to drink. A bit ahead of the 2022 edition for me.
Review by Leo Krüper
Besser als der 2022er für mein empfinden. Deutlich fruchtiger.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 = l'odeur chimique de dissolvant des esters se fait immédiatement ressentir mais avec une étonnante douceur agrémentée de fruits jaunes, de notes végétales et un peu de fruits rouges. 👄 = l'attaque est franche et acidulée avec une explosion d'olive, de poivre, de fruits mûrs terminant sur une finale onctueuse.
