Savanna Agricole - Série kraft 2007
Opinion splits on this one. Fans call it an elegant, cognac-cask agricole — cut grass, fresh hay, pear and white peach with a strong "varnish and glue" note that some love and some find off-putting. Several tasters found it a touch watery mid-palate and not quite integrated at 50.4%, though the long finish wins people back. A distinctive, wine-tinged Savanna rather than a crowd-pleaser.
The community says- Fresh, grassy, vegetal
- Cognac-cask elegance
- Divisive glue/varnish note

How does Savanna Agricole - Série kraft 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Vegetal cognac-cask agricole with heavy varnish note Divisive: some praise its fresh, vegetal cognac-cask elegance, others find it too funky, thin mid-palate and unbalanced. The nail-varnish note is the make-or-break.

Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a fantastic and well-balanced Agricole that I tasted at the pre-party to Sweden Rumfest 2023 at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm. The Savanna Distillerie was built between 1948 and 1950 by Emile Hugot in Saint Paul, Reunion. It wasn’t the first distillery in Reunion cause rum has been distilled in the island since the 1870’s from sugarcane grown on the island. In 1992 the distillery was moved the Bois-Rouge sugar factory in Saint Paul where the entire production now takes place, from cultivation and harvesting of the sugar cane to distillation and bottling. Rum from the Savanna distillery has grown quite popular lately and Mr. Fabio Rossi from Rum Nation started a collaboration with them some years ago which has resulted in this bottling among some others. This single cask bottling was distilled in 2007 in their Savalle Column Still whereafter was transferred to former cognac casks for eleven years of aging before bottled in 886 bottles.
Review by Dr.Django
Ein sehr untypischer Savanna. Das Cognac-Finish ist hier deutlich riech- und schmeckbar, was ihm eine gewisse Eleganz verleiht. Am Gaumen etwas wässrig, wenn man ihn mit kleinen Schlücken verkostet. Der Abgang hingegen wertet den Rum nochmal auf. Ein ganz untypischer Savanna mit der Eleganz eines schönen Cognac.
Review by Jonathan Massard
Nez; fraîcheur du raisin sec confit, de la vanille, colle à bois, un côté végétal sur la canne à sucre verte. C'est élégant sur la fleur de rose, loukoums, les extraits de rose. Quelques fruits à chair blanche. Bouche; l'aspect boisé est plus prononcé. Légèrement épicé et presque fumé. C'est herbacé aussi, un aspect foin frais. Les fruits à chair blanche reviennent (poire, pêche blanche). L'ensemble manque d'intensité et de concentration mais belle équilibre des arômes. 79+
Review by Rodolphe
Un Agricole sympa, assez vineux (fût de Cognac) mais bien frais et végétal. Je préfère autre chose chez savanna mais c'est bien fait.
Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni suché travnaté tóny, z intenzivním tónem laku na parkety. Chuť je explozivně funky. Tóny vína, trávy a opět oblíbené leštěnky. Alkohol není intwgrován uplně perfektně a dost štipká. Znovu už to pít nepotřebuji.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est moins rond et plus sec. On a du léger boisé, de la pêche et quelque chose d’intrigant-dérangeant : vernis-colle En bouche, c’est très-trop funky ! Sommes-nous toujours sur l’agricole !? On a du boisé, des fruits secs mais surtout à nouveau cette colle-vernis à ongles assez dérangeante. On a du gazon fraîchement coupé, c’est la porte d’entrée d’un jardin réunionnais mais décevant. La finale est somme toute longue mais sans intérêt. Franchement, il n’est pas du tout gourmand. On a comme une touche de grand arôme dans de l’agricole mais que l’ensemble n’est pas bien équilibré.
Review by Pavel Spacek
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.
