Savanna L’Absolu 2025
Most tasters land around 8.5 and call this a well-married blend, though a few say it's more cask-driven and less fruity than the usual Savanna. Expect dried fruit, dark chocolate, young oak, spice and a cognac-like roundness from the cask. Several note the 58% isn't perfectly integrated and it can turn hot and drying toward the finish. Rich and woody rather than the classic ester bomb.

How does Savanna L’Absolu 2025 taste?
Aggregated from 83 community reviews.
Woody, spiced Savanna blend with dried fruit Widely liked at ~8.4, this 2025 edition blends agricole, traditional and Grand Arôme into a woody, spiced, chocolate-and-dried-fruit profile. Main gripe: the alcohol runs a touch hot and rough at the end.
Fans of woody, spiced Reunion rum and cask-forward sippers

Savanna RumX Tasting 26.09.25: Der L‘ Absolou 25 weist eine schöne würzige Seite auf. Er ist nicht so fruchtig, wie man es von Savanna gewohnt ist. Eher versteckte Trockenfrüchte sind erkennbar, gepaart mit etwas dunkler Schokolade..das passt

Savanna Masterclass 26.09.2025 Edit: Nachverkostung. Schon besser als der Le Must, da einfach mehr Aromatik. Auch die typische Beeren-/Kaugummi-Noten sind dezent vorhanden. Am Ende aber auch am Gaumen nicht so ganz rund und der Alkohol ist nicht so gut eingebunden.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really nice, well-made blend that suits the high average age very well. Ripe peach, dark berries, fresh ginger, and strong Earl Grey, plus dark chocolate and slightly floral citrus notes. Very good balance and pleasant to drink. By far my favorite of the Absolu releases so far. Grand Arome and Traditionnelle are very harmoniously combined!
Review by LukaŽiga
8,3:On the nose, soap, flowery molasses, young roasted wood with chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, some leather, spicy, cognac touch, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, metallic patina arises, various fruits like pineapple, strawberry, yellow fruits and orange peel, the molasses is herbaceous, earthy. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is spicy, oaky, pungent with esters, almost rotten fruits like pineapple, bitter orange, cognac's dried fruits, briny vegetal molasses, slightly flowery, spicy with chilli, roasted wood notes with dark chocolate, pastry, cognac 's leather, spicy with vanilla and pepper. 8,2:The finish is rather long, dry and tannic, furry with cognac's dried fruits and currants, grapes, leather, also tropical, citrus fruits, cherries, then roasted, oaky, spicy wood and notes like chocolate, vanilla, slightly smoky, vegetal molasses.
Review by Timo Groeger
Savanna Masterclass. Dieser Savanna weiß echt zu überzeugen. In der Nase wirklich würzig und holzig, etwas Schokolade und Vanille sind erkennbar. Am Gaumen bleiben Holz und Würzigkeit erhalten. Echt ein guter Rum.
Review by Boletus
Braucht einige Zeit, um sich voll zu entwickeln, zeigt dann aber viele Facetten mit einem harmonischen Spektrum zwischen Früchten und feinen Eichenaromen mit Schokolade, Leder und Gewürzen. Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut! Savanna Masterclass Online-Tasting am 26.09.25; vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.

Review by Fred Tillac
👃🏼 = Des arômes frais de fruits jaunes et rouges mûrs, de vanille, de torréfaction, du vernis boisé, un peu de tannins et des notes herbacées. 👄 = Passée l'attaque tonique j'ai du caramel, des fruits à coque, un peu de chocolat et plus de fruits rouges. La finale est longue, pâtissière et un peu mielleuse. Bien joué Savanna pour ce mélange harmonieux des 3 types de rhums produits par la distillerie 👍

Nachverkostung des RumX Savanna Sample Sets. Auch hier eine solide Abfüllung und vom Gedächtnis her, wenn ich richtig liege, sogar ein paar Cent billiger als der 24er. Gut, aber nichts was ich brauchen würde.
Review by SaibotZtar
Great savanna blend . Wonderfully fruity nose with strawberries, pineapple and cherry. There is also a slight ester note and a light pine note or coniferous wood in general. On the palate Chewing gum, strawberries pineapple and oak which then turns slightly into coniferous wood and some eucalyptus in the mouth. Very nice, I like it better than expected.
Review by TheJackDrop
Rumx X Savanna. Blend de 4 casks : 1 agricole de 11 ans (18%), 1 Grand arome de 10 ans (20%), 13 yo trad (40%), 15 yo trad (20%), plus ou moins. Au nez le côté herbacé domine les fruits, mais en bouche ils reviennent fort avec un gros côté empyreumathique. Une finale longue, avec quelques épices, et un bel équilibre. Plutot simple à boire. Un effort sur le prix de Savanna, en dessous de 200€ la bouteille ! merci à l'équipe.
Review by Joachim Guger
Savanna-Tasting am 26.09.2025 – Es wurden acht Samples verkostet und fachkundig erklärt. Der Savanna-Hype ist irgendwie mal wieder an mir vorbeigegangen, aber es war ein wirklich großartiges Event. Vielen Dank an RumX und das Savanna-Team – gerne mehr davon! Die Savannas sind wahre Könner und Handwerker. Komplex, 60 % Vol., die am Gaumen schmeicheln. Die Arbeit mit verschiedenen Stilrichtungen wie Creole, Traditionell und HERR führt zu einer Vielfalt, wie sie nur wenige Brennereien bieten. Alles top-notch! Nummer 6 hat mir super gefallen. Würze, Komplexität, Savanna läuft zur Hochform auf. Toll wie aus Agricole und HERR ein interessantes Produkt entsteht.
Review by DomM
Rich with dried fruits and dark chocolate.
Review by Fuwi
Kein Ester Savanna, das wird schnell deutlich. Eher ein sehr fasslastiger Vertreter, der mit viel dunklen Früchten, kräftiger Eiche und trockenen Aromen vom Fass über die Nase ebenso in den Gaumen wandert. Die 58% braucht er für den volumigen Körper, die sind allerdings nicht so richtig perfekt eingebunden. Alles in allem ein edler Vertreter, der an alter Ledersofas, Zedernholz und Zigarren erinnert - wuchtig und fast zu kräftig auftritt aber genau so einen Abend perfekt begleiten wird.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Troisième édition de l’Absolu, ce Savanna est un assemblage savoureux et réconfortant. Le nez est opulent, très imprégné par la cerise, la fraise et l’ananas. Le bois, le piment, le chocolat, la vanille et le caramel viennent napper les narines de leur chaleur. La touche de cognac venant du fût fait son petit effet et ajoute de la rondeur. Un joli nez gourmand comme Savanna sait le faire. La bouche garde l’esprit gourmand mais s’assombrit pour plus d’élégance. Chocolat noir, poivre rouge, cuir, esters et fruits secs se rejoignent et tapissent le palais de cette aura plus sèche et noble. L’ananas et la fraîcheur végétale, qui est assez subtile, viennent compléter ce joli tableau aromatique. L’intégration de l’alcool est très bonne. La finale est longue et élégante. Les fruits sont lourds et voluptueux, portés par le cassis, la cerise, le raisin et l’ananas. La sécheresse du palais se prolonge à travers les notes de chocolat, de cuir, d’épices douces, de bois et de fumé. Une cuvée et généreuse, peut être un peu plus renfermée que l’édition précédente mais qui offre plus de rondeur et de réconfort.
Review by Mentalo
Schöner Blend aus Grand Arome und Agricole. Fruchtig, würzig und etwas Holz . Sehr schön ausbalanciert und mit gut integrierten Alkohol. Die Abfüllung macht nicht viel falsch, aber es fehlt dann etwas an Tiefe am Ende.
Review by Jakob
Lots of fruity aromas, both tropical and dried fruit, plus grippy wood and spice notes, mint, caramel. Appealing depth, works very well overall and delivers a pleasantly balanced profile. Accessible savanna with great complexity.
Review by Vincent D
Des trois Absolu, sûrement celui dont le profil est le plus different entre le nez et la bouche. Nez très douce et fruité qui tranche avec ses prédécesseurs. Puis en bouche on retrouve les notes boisées des précédentes éditions. Ça reste ous doux et fruité, plus léger. Bel équilibre. Tres cool.
