Savanna Lontan 57 Blanc 2017
Green olive, overripe pineapple and a chemical-solvent funk you rarely meet in a white rum — this Savanna from Reunion is for high-ester hunters. One taster called it "brilliant, unrefined, rogue and weird," and that's the pitch. At 57% from pot-still cane juice, it fills the room the second you open it. Hot, medicinal, wildly fruity. Not a quiet white.
The community says- Huge aromatic power
- Unique olive note
- Chemical, medicinal edge

Voldsomt kraftig frugt duft! For kraftig frugt - funky kemisk frugt
Review by benoit burger
Surprising. Great aromatic power with notes of overripe fruit and especially green olive.
Review by Frank
As with the LORD, an intense smell pervades the entire room. However, it is a bit more tart, more veggie-like. Next to fermented pineapple, olive comes to mind. Intense, artificial, fruity, sweet.Sweet, fermented pineapple with overripe strawberry. Then a bit bitter to change right back to intense fruity sweet.The finish is almost logically fruity sweet. Like the Lord something quite extreme and yet exciting.

Sehr kraftvoll, jung und funky - das alles zu einem hammerpreis! In diese destille muss ich definitiv tiefer abtauchen!
Review by Bram Baets
mijn eerste Savanna... maar wat een ontdekking, fris en zeer fruitig ... de kleur doet anders denken maar is zeker de moeite waard
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was a lovely Savanna and we all agreed that it was really good. Fruity and fresh and you could small the rum standing on the table in front of you. Price to quality is very good in my mind. The surprise comes when you sample it because the nose is a bit light but it explodes on your palate.
Review by ChristopheP
Surprising and very special! This rum can't leave you indifferent, either way! Personally, I love it!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I do not know why but I had in my mouth immediately the association with the red Campino strawberry yogurt candy🤣🍓 I find good!
Review by Tschusikowsky
An sich spannender und eigener Charakter, trifft jedoch nicht meinen Geschmack
Review by Pavel Spacek
The rums from the Savanna distillery are some of my favourites. I recommend everyone to try especially the higher ester pieces like Grand arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in a few little drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Vincent D
A white wine that can be tasted like an old rum because it is so rich and complex.it can not please everyone or leave indifferent.it will be necessary to taste it again to find everything that is hidden.Super discovery
Review by Tom Buteneers
Chemical olive pineapple rum juice. Not for the faint hearted 😁
Review by Nelis
Delicious, I smell olives but the taste is somewhat peaty. It's my first Savanna. Love it.
