CDI Savanna Reunion (Bottled for Germany) 2007

Members keep landing in the same happy place with this one — a Savanna grand arôme that tastes like the fruit-candy aisle. Strawberry gummy bears, pineapple and marshmallow on the nose, then esters, red fruit and a spicy wood note underneath. Several mention a HERR-cask feel, with cedar and tobacco on a long finish. At 61.6% the alcohol reads well integrated, not hot.

The community says
  • Strawberry gummy nose
  • Heat well hidden
  • But: Very candy-sweet

How does CDI Savanna Reunion (Bottled for Germany) 2007 taste?

Aggregated from 69 community reviews.

Fruity Savanna ester bomb, strawberry-candy loud Near-unanimous love here: an intense, fruity Savanna with well-buried heat and good balance. A couple of tasters find the strawberry-candy note too much, but that's the minority.

Perfect for

Savanna grand arôme and ester fans

Less suitable for

Savanna Distillery 2007 Compagnie des Indes Bottled for Germany Distilled: 05.2007 Bottled: 06.2019 Aged 12 Years 61,6% Cask RRS197 One of 180 Bottles Melasse Rum, Column Still Herkunft: La Réunion Farbe: Leuchtender dunkler Bernstein Geruch: Mein erster Eindruck ist "fruchtiger Toffee". Der Geruch ist mild, aromatisch und fruchtig-esterig. Riecht nach Mon Cherie, Schokolade und Tabak. Geschmack: im Mund fruchtig-süß nach Maroni, Toffee und Tabak. Beim Schlucken vollmundig und würzig. Der Geschmack ist komplex nach Maroni, Sandelholz, Kautabak, Toffee, Karamell, Kakao und Holz mit einer leichten fruchtigen Süße (Kirsche) im Hintergrund. Insgesamt sehr intensiv, man meint fast ihn kauen zu können. Abgang: Sehr lang und würzig mit Sandelholz-Aromen. Trocken und sauber im Nachgeschmack. Wärmt von tief innen. Fazit: Ein toller Rum ... erstaunlich, dass der bei nur 180 Flaschen immer noch nicht ausverkauft ist. 89 Punkte

4 Savannas im Quervergleich: Sieger ist der CDI 2007, schön intensives GA Profil mit leichtem Holz und guter Balance. Knapp dahinter der Rum Nation mit ähnlichem Profil, aber ein wenig eindimensionaler. Platz 3 und Sieger des Herzens: Easy Peasy von Swell, trotz des jungen Alters eindeutig ein GA mit allem was dazu gehört, erstaunlich gut zu trinken und rund. Abgeschlagen der Unshared for Germany, im Direktvergleich ziemlich langweilig. Ist aber auch ein Traditional.

A great rum! Savanna moves for me more and more in the focus of enjoyment. This association of red tropical fruits, simply wonderful! Even if it does not seem to be a Grand Arome: This rum does not need to hide behind the Grand Arome of Rum Nation (RX7316), aged one year longer and highly appreciated by me.

Nase: süsses Getreide, Gras, Kräuter, leichte Schärfe des Alkohol Gaumen: Kräuter aber auch Honig, Mandeln, leicht metallischer Geschmack auf der Zunge, Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden Die Erdbeeren von der hier viele schreiben, ist bei mir in der Nase vom Alkohol überlagert. Im Gaumen im Abgang nach dem verschwinden des metallischen aber schon cool.

Little Savanna GA & HERR cross tasting: Nose starts of rather closed up compared to the rest of the class. Wood and some esters and solvent. More power on the palate right away. Esters, strawberry, wood and some sweetness. Balanced pretty well with enough punch and edges. Nice.

What an intense fruit bomb! From the first nosing you know you are dealing with a high ester rum, which for me dives even into the soury brine / pickles area. There is definitely some fermented stuff too. On the palate, it's again very fruity, but also quite sweet and refreshing.
