Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 1 2007
Best sipped neat and given time in the glass — at 61.3% it turns hot and spicy fast, so a drop of water helps. Expect a big wave of ester fruit: overripe mango in caramel, pineapple, vanilla and a bit of chocolate on the finish. A few tasters catch light smoke and wood too. One member called it a "monster" they fell for.
The community says- Overripe mango fruit
- High-ester complexity
- Caramel and chocolate finish

The look inside the bottle
How does Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 1 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 30 community reviews.
Fruity high-ester Savanna, mango and caramel Most call it a top-tier Savanna — mango, esters and caramel with real depth. A couple find it slightly edgy or too whisky-like, and the fruit fades as it sits.

This was my favourite Savanna and rum of the tasting. Nice complexity and lovely balance between the fruit, caramel and spices and you could also get some molasses. I really liked the light smoky feel and wood in this release. Chocolate comes at the end of the palate. Yummy 😊

Too close to a whisky, too particular, not rum enough...
Review by Mirco
Erdbeer- und Beerennoten prägen die Nase, begleitet von Vanille und Karamell. Dazu kommt eine feine Kräutrigkeit mit leichter Holznote. Am Gaumen überreife Frucht, etwas Kandis und ein Hauch Kakao. Insgesamt aromatisch und interessant, wirkt aber stellenweise etwas unausgewogen und kantig, wodurch er nicht die Eleganz anderer HERR Abfüllungen erreicht.

Review by Jakob
High Ester rum from Savanna with a sweet twist. Without the brute force of pure Grand Arôme or HERR, although the notes are of course still recognizable. Intense, demanding, multi-layered - an excellent rum from Reunion.
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 Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Ce fût un plaisir de replonger dans ce monstre qui m’avait rendu amoureux de Savanna lors de la dégustation chez l’ami Dimitri. Il ne reste plus qu’à trouver une bouteille. Mais à un prix raisonnable !
Review by Martin Švojgr
The best of the whole series. Wonderful aroma and taste of overripe mango in caramel, esters, vanilla. This is, for example, a great Savannah!
Review by Harald
Color: Orange-brown Odor: Super delicious aromatic ester flavors fill the room. Smells sweet and fruity of fudge, sandalwood and candied fruit. Taste: Initially sweet in the mouth with fudge, but quickly becomes sharp and strong due to its alcohol strength. Extremely strong and spicy when swallowed. Sweet with caramel in the background. Then there are lots of fruity aromas. Finish: Medium length. Fruity and spicy with chocolate and toffee. Also woody. Sweet aftertaste with a pleasant burn. Conclusion: Super tasty. The fruitiness decreases significantly after a longer period of standing.
Review by FischeJ
Absolute Savanna Spitzenklasse. Fruchtig, Ester, würzig, dichte Aromen. Erinnert auch etwas an Eisbonbons. Im Vergleich zum Herrline #1 und Blanc Paris auf ähnliche hohem Niveau. Für mich gleichauf mit Herrline aber hinterm Blanc Paris.
