Savanna Collection Grand Arôme Port Cask Blend LMDW 2004
Opinion splits on the port cask here: some call it harmonious and fruity, others feel the port "holds it back" and buries Savanna's usual light, funky Grand Arôme profile. Expect raspberry, sour cherry, chocolate and dried fruit over a woody, spicy base, with a distinct portwine sweetness. Several tasters flag a sharp acidity on the palate — lovely to some, too much for others.
The community says- Fruity raspberry-cherry nose
- Funky Grand Arôme character
- Heavy port marking

How does Savanna Collection Grand Arôme Port Cask Blend LMDW 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 48 community reviews.
Fruity, funky Savanna marked hard by port Loved for its fruity, funky complexity, but the heavy port marking divides people — a few feel it masks the Savanna character, and the acidity runs sharp.

Extreme and not for every day. If you go for it, you will be rewarded with a great Grand Arôme. Pleasant acidity on the palate. A stunner.

Even if I like Savanna, the port cask finish is so heavy that it does not play with the standars light profile of Savanna rum Rumy z destilerie Savanna jsou jedny z mych nejoblibenejsich. Doporucuji kazdemu vyzkouset zejmena vuce esterove kousky jako je Grand arome nebo HERR. Tolik ovoce v nekolika malo kapkach tekutiny jste dlouho necitili.
Review by Mirco
Ein wirklich gelungener Savanna, der trotz seines relativ niedrigen ABVs mit einer überraschenden Komplexität überzeugt. Die Aromen sind vielschichtig und spannend. Das Port-Finish ist deutlich präsent und verleiht dem Rum eine fruchtige, süßliche Tiefe, ohne dabei die typische Savanna-DNA zu überdecken. Diese bleibt mit ihren charakteristischen, leicht funkigen und würzigen Noten klar erkennbar. Insgesamt ein harmonisches Zusammenspiel
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Grand Arôme grand result. A nice and fruity rum with wood, spices and caramel in a lovely mix with the tannins and port cask finish. Chocolate is very obvious in the empty glass after a while.
Review by cigares
Une bouteille bien entamée. Un nez de solvants avec de la framboise, de la cerise amère. Une bouche vive, mais aussitôt beaucoup de fruits avec de la cerise aigre des fruits secs et des fruits tropicaux. Une finale assez longue toujours sur les fruits avec une cerise qui ressort nettement. J’aime !
Review by Jarek
kleines, privates Savanna Coss-Tasting 2025-07-10: Wow! Ganz schön Sauer! Die Nase schon recht fruchtig, am Gaumen aber die volle Ladung Sauerkirsche und Himbeere. Sehr lecker! Gerne etwas stärker, dann wären wir näher an der 9.0
Review by alex
C’est très très bon. Un petit parfum de framboise. On sent bien le marquage. Belle longueur. Superbe 😍
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
extrem geiler Port cask Savanna, extrem harmonisch und lecker!
Review by Harald
Geruch: Fruchtig aromatisch, süß und rund. Riecht nach Schokolade, Portwein und Himbeermarmelade. Zudem schwach floral mit grüner Rinde. Geschmack: Mild und süß im Mund mit deutlichen Portwein-Aromen, wird dann würzig. Beim Schlucken würzig (Ingwer, Zimt), holzig und scharf. Schmeckt nach Karamell und Tabak. Abgang: Lang und würzig. Wässrig-weinig im Nachgeschmack mit nassem Holz. Fazit: Sehr leckerer aber keineswegs überragender Melasse Rum aus meiner Lieblings-Destillerie.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un rum qui pourrait sûrement plaire mais le fût de porto l'a beaucoup marqué, ce qui n'est pas du tout à mon goût.
Review by L' Art Rhumiste
Un grand arôme exubérant, complexe et funky
Review by FischeJ
Trotz niedrigerem Alkohol schöne Intensität. Portfinish ist auch sehr gut.

Ah well, breaking a sample bottle is a great reason to try whats left of the sample. Unfortunately it feels like a great rum was diminished by the port cask. Dont get me wrong, this is still nice, and really clearly porto and grand arome. it just does not excel and for me the porto is holding it back massively
