Aroma visualization from community tastings
Savanna Unshared Cask (Denmark) 2009
One taster dares you to blind-guess Savanna here — the cognac cask runs the show. Expect dark, woody, almost dirty aromas: old cognac, sawdust, walnut, dried fruit and a menthol-eucalyptus lift, with the usual tropical Savanna fruit pushed to the back. The palate turns spicy and peppery, roasted and very dry, with bitter chocolate on the finish. At 59% most find the alcohol well tucked in.
The community says- Deep cognac cask
- Dried fruit & nuts
- But: Very dry finish

How does Savanna Unshared Cask (Denmark) 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 52 community reviews.
Dark, dry cognac-cask Savanna with a bitter edge Well-liked as a dark, cognac-driven Savanna most rate in the mid-8s; a few feel the cask buries the distillery's tropical fruit and wish for more balance.

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.
