Famille Ricci Savanna Rare Single Cask SVN HGT 2019
Sipped neat, this is Savanna funk in full swing — overripe strawberry and juicy pineapple up front, then a hard turn into green olives and briny sea-salt on a long, oily finish. Light vanilla oak sits underneath and stays out of the way. At 55.5% the ester punch is loud but well integrated. A blend of three Savanna whites (Herr, Grand Arôme, Traditionnel), and it drinks like it.

Review by TheJona'Spirits
Tasted several times at Rhum Fest 2026, first during the Ricci line-up and then in the afternoon after a meal + coffee bean. I bought a bottle, a Savanna of this kind at 100€ just doesn’t exist anymore. 👃 Lots of fermented fruits typical of the distillery, you won’t be disappointed. Overripe strawberries, juicy and very ripe pineapple, a hint of candied citrus. Superb Savanna esters that lean towards seaside fishiness. Also fresh, island spices, the characteristic olive note (darker than green?), a slight vanilla oak just enough not to overpower the fermented and briny aspect. 😋 Wow, really very good. Here we have a blend very similar to the well-known Th1. No need to elaborate, the aromas from the nose are found as delicious flavors on the palate. Solvent-like and varnished esters. ⛳ Long as you’d expect, esterified, salty, briny, fermented, with a little touch of vanilla sweetness. 📝 In 2019, Morgan blended 3 signature white rums from the renowned Savanna distillery: a Herr (High Ester Rum Reunion), a Grand Arôme, and a Traditionnel. Then this blend aged for 7 years in ex-Bourbon casks under Mediterranean climate on the Côte d'Azur. 💡 A true high ester, sitting between a TH1 LMDW, a Herrline 2, and the cask strength blend from Chais Saint Éloi. I even find some similarities with Forêt and 10 years wet warehouse.

#6926 17.06.2026 Training is over and my wife has been picked up from work. Time for some spitting and nice Trance tracks on Spotify. This is a nice rum with an attractive price tag at release. Fruity with esters, light wood, polish, spices and light salty olives.
Review by Eric Frechin
Tasted at Rhumfest Paris 2026. Like every year, we had a really nice lineup at this booth. This is one of the bottles I liked the most. A blend of 3 Savanna rums, very fruity with strawberry and pineapple notes, plus a touch of esters and olive. A more than interesting value for money!
Review by Skyfly
Ein großartiger Savanna-Blend, bei dem Herr und Grand Arome definitiv überwiegen - Erdbeere, Olive, etwas Vergorenes und Salzlake dominieren hier von Nase bis Abgang. Daneben leichtes Holz und Vanille. Sicherlich nicht Königsklasse, aber für das Geld bekommt man sonst keinen Savanna dieser Güteklasse mehr, weswegen man jetzt zuschlagen sollte.
Review by Fuwi
Sehr, sehr ambivalente und dadurch unglaublich interessante Abfüllung. Savanna von Ricci abgefüllt - das verspricht Spannung! Man hat es geschafft, einige der derzeit gefragtesten Aromen zu kombinieren, würde ich vermuten. Es ist HERR drin - aber auch Grand Arome. Im Glas zeigen sich im dunklen Rum schon mal sehr lange Schlieren, die ölig an der Innenwand hinunter laufen. Die Nase ist voller salzige Oliven, grüne Einflüsse die fast Richtung Hering gehen. Aber am Gaumen kommt dann der Aha-Effekt, Erdbeere mit Sahne, Fruchtkompott von Pfirsich und ein wenig Mango mit angenehmen Holznoten die mehr Charakter verleihen und abrunden Danke an @skyfly für das Sample - ich wäre bereit für die große Version in 50cl
Review by Wernie
Ich genieße die kühlen Momente im Tageslicht, nach dem die Sonne hinterm Berg verschwunden ist, mit ein paar Samples. Dieser Blend von Savannah ist wirklich gut, vor allem die Nase mit den vergorenen Erdbeeren, dazu leichte würzige Noten mit Salzlaken. Der erste Gaumenkontakt ist sehr süß und fruchtig und geht dann ins salzige über, dazu kommen noch Gewürze und eine ordentliche Portion Holz, für mich etwas zu viel. Trotzdem ein sehr schönes Tröpfchen, danke fürs Sample Sky. 😊

Goûté à l'occasion du Rhum Fest Paris 2026. Des fruits, des fruits et encore des fruits. De la fraise, de l'ananas. Trop mûrs. Ce rhum mériterait un peu plus de temps qu'une passage éclair en festival. Il pa beaucoup plu.
Review by Rico39
Après un grosse journée de travaux je vais goûté ce Savanna, c'est mon premier. Au Nez c'est fruité, on sent bien la fraise. Au goût toujours de la fraise mais ensuite viens l'olive. La finale est très longue, plus sur un goût d'olive. Pour un premier essai je valide c'est super bon , je ressent mon verre encore de la fraise. Un petit plus positif la bouteille est vraiment belle
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
🥃 Suite et fin des bonus de la dernière soirée PokeRhum ! Après l'incroyable Savanna Lontan Grand Arôme 2004, il fallait un sacré candidat pour clôturer la soirée. Et quoi de mieux qu'un autre Savanna, cette fois-ci sélectionné par un embouteilleur indépendant ? 🥃 Ricci Savanna SVN HGT 2019 – 55,5% Un Grand Arôme réunionnais distillé en 2019 et embouteillé à 55,5 %. Autant le dire tout de suite : passer après le Lontan 2004 relevait presque de la mission impossible. Et pourtant... ce Ricci s'en sort avec les honneurs ! 👃👄 On retrouve immédiatement cette signature Savanna que les amateurs adorent : un profil intensément estérisé, explosif mais parfaitement maîtrisé. Les arômes naviguent entre la fraise bien mûre, l'ananas juteux, puis évoluent vers des notes d'olives vertes et de saumure, le tout avec beaucoup d'élégance et une belle expressivité. Un vrai "funky Savanna", moderne, gourmand et terriblement efficace. 🙏 Un grand merci à Malau pour le partage de cette nouveauté qui nous a littéralement achevés... dans le bon sens du terme bien sûr ! 😅 Une magnifique façon de clôturer cette dernière soirée de la saison. Maintenant, il ne reste plus qu'à patienter jusqu'à la saison prochaine... même si l'attente risque d'être longue ! 🥃🔥
Review by Rumpilot
Nase: Hier ballert einem gleich die volle Dröhnung Ester entgegen. Dann kommt die Fruch. Hauptsächlich Erdbeere salzig. Sehr interessant. Gaumen: Herrlich fruchtig. Leicht salzig noch. Etwas Holz. Genau richtig. Nichts überlagert sich. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Süffig meiner Meinung nach. Abgang: Herrlich fruchtig. Die Ester sind noch leicht vorhanden. Holz kommt dazu. In einem sehr guten Verhältnis. Alles in allem ein sehr guter Tropfen Zweite Verkostung. Bewertung leicht nach oben.
Review by Jacques etdom
Tres joli blend savanna. Fruits, bubble gomme, fraise tagada, olive. C est huileux en bouche. L alcool est integré a merveille.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wochenendtripp mit meinem Bruder in unsere alte Heimat Oelde in Gedenken an unseren Vater. Richtig guter Savanna, wow sehr lecker. Die Erdbeere ist hier auch gut erkennbar, sehr fruchtig, aber auch Ester ist erkennbar.
