For experienced palates: a dry, unsweetened Savanna Wild Island single cask at 60.1%, aged 15 years in sherry wood. Expect dark chocolate, dried fruits, charred oak, sulphury gunpowder notes and a very long, tannic finish—intense and polarizing but highly praised by sherry cask fans.

  • Intense sherry depth
  • Complex dark fruits
  • Very long finish

How does Savanna The Wild Island Edition - Voie Lactée 2008 taste?

Aggregated from 63 community reviews.

Dark, dry, sherry‑bomb Savanna For experienced palates: a dry, unsweetened Savanna Wild Island single cask at 60.1%, aged 15 years in sherry wood. Expect dark chocolate, dried fruits, charred oak, sulphury gunpowder notes and a very long, tannic finish—intense and polarizing but highly praised by sherry cask fans.

Perfect for

Sherry-cask whisky drinkers and Savanna fans who enjoy dry, high‑ABV rums with loads of charred oak, sulphur, gunpowder and dark dried fruits like prunes, raisins and dates.

Less suitable for

Beginners, those sensitive to 60% ABV, or drinkers who dislike sulphuric, burnt or very woody sherry profiles and prefer clean, fruity or lighter Savanna expressions.

Savanna-Online-Tasting WLP 26.09.2025 - 87 Punkte Update 2025-09-28: Da ich mehrfach auf meine Bewertung angesprochen wurde, habe ich diesen Rum nochmals verkostet. Ein super Spalter-Rum! 😂 Ich wusste bisher nicht, dass ich verbrannte Zündplätzchen nicht nur olfaktorisch, sondern auch geschmacklich mag, aber so ist es. Für mich ist dies ein sehr erwachsener, leicht verrückter Rum, der mit etwas zu enormer Kraft daherkommt (für eine Verkostung mit einem Tropfen Wasser hat die Probe leider nicht mehr gereicht). Wenn andere ihn nicht mögen, gut für mich, dann wird es kein Problem, eine ganze Flasche zu ergattern. Bewertung bleibt bestehen. 😉

Savanna-Tasting-RumX 26.09.25: Diese Wild Island Edition ist so gar nicht meins. Die 19 Jahre Sherryfass haben ihre Wirkung hinterlassen..aber nicht im positiven Sinne. In der Nase überwiegt alter dunkler schwerer Sherry. Am Gaumen anfangs noch gebranntes Karamell und leichte Röstigkeit. Dann entwickelt sich ein Aroma von altem modrigen pilzlastigen Waldboden mit leichtem Schwefel…dieses bleibt auch im Abgang dominierend…muss man mögen. Ich jedoch nicht

Savanna Masterclass. Da gehe ich mit, ein wirklich guter Rum. Klar ist das Sherry Cask Finish erkennbar, aber wirklich gut eingebunden. Ansonsten ist noch etwas Holz erkennbar. Ein echter Top Rum meiner Meinung nach.

6.9/10

Mmh I'm not really warming to this Savanna. The nose is almost musty Musty fermented ... Red fruits and sweetness . On the palate it tastes like an old port wine, lots of sweet plum and many bitter substances. Unfortunately not my cup of tea at all. Would never have guessed this rum blind as Savanna. Conclusion: Too bad about the original rum

Very heavy influence from the cask. Sherry is very dominant in the overall profile. There is also lots of wood and burnt notes taking the Savanna profile somewhat hostage. Finish lingers with very long with lots of wood and bitterness.

8.0/10

Holz, geröstete Nüsse, vergorene Früchte, pflanzliche Noten und Schwefel an der Nase, am Gaumen kommt noch schwere Süsse von Schokolade und getrockneten Früchten dazu. Die Schwefelnote ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber insgesamt ist das Profil keineswegs unausgewogen. Das Savanna-Spektrum beweist einmal mehr seine eindrückliche Vielseitigkeit.

Durch das Sherryfass wird der Rum nahezu erschlagen, nur ganz selten schimmert der Grundcharakter durch. Das könnte bei mir durchaus auch funktionieren, leider zeigt sich jedoch beim Fass eine leichte Schwefelverunreinigung, welche mir den Spaß doch merklich einbremst. Schade! Savanna Masterclass Online-Tasting am 26.09.25; vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.
