Savanna Unshared Cask (Denmark) 2009
One reviewer nailed the divide: "the least savanna Savanna" he'd tasted, swamped by cask. That's the story here — a 15-year Reunion column rum finished so heavily on cognac (some note port too) that dried fruit, walnut, leather, black pepper and bitter chocolate crowd out the usual tropical Savanna character. The nose runs closed and woody; the palate is dark, spicy and very dry.
The community says- Dried fruit, walnut
- Complex cask depth
- Wood dominates

How does Savanna Unshared Cask (Denmark) 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Dark, woody cognac-cask Savanna, very dry Splits people hard. Fans love the dark, walnut-and-leather cask depth; others find the alcohol poorly integrated and the wood so dominant you'd never guess Savanna.

Delicious Savanna... Still very reserved and closed on the nose. On the palate deliciously slightly fruity paired with bitterness and wood notes almost in the direction of dark chocolate. Very dry finish.

Review by Jakob
Schöner Traditional-Stil, tolle Struktur und Komplexität mit angenehmer Fruchtnote aus dem Cognac-Fass, dazu Nüsse, Holz, dunkle Gewürze. Das gesamte Profil bleibt auch im Nachhall lebendig, der Alkohol ist sehr schön eingebunden. Gelungene Auswahl.
Review by Johannes
Wow, was für ein toller Rum! Sehr schöner, komplexer Fasseinfluss mit den typischen tropischen Savanna-Fruchtnoten..
Review by Michal Jurka
Right after the pour it is very fresh and floral but quickly turns into sweeter, more confectionery style - pastries, caramel, vanilla, nuts, pralines, hints of coconut. The taste however is quite different, bit spicy, even peperry, roasted and woody.
Review by Michal S
Velmi pěkná Savanna, hodně sušeného ovoce, karamelu, ořechů a koření. Je patrný vliv staření v sudu po koňaku, naopak téměř není znát síla skoro 60 % alkoholu. K ochutnání doporučuju, jde o povedené plnění.
