Review by Luca
Sehr leckerer, vollmundiger und untypischer Agricole. Er hat eine Savanna typische Olivennote und ein wunderbar cremiges Mundgefühl. Im direkt Vergleich zum Liberation 2012 wirkt er deutlich süffiger, vollmundiger und spannender. Ich würde fast sagen auch komplexer, dass stimmt wohl aber nicht ganz. Durch die Grand- Aomeske cremigkeit wirkt er einfach etwas kräftiger. Der Liberation hat hier eher Schärfe und Pfeffer. Nach 20 min im Glas zeigt sich der Zimt an der Nase sehr schön. Mir schmeckt der Savanna klar besser.
Review by Jarek
This was my very first Savanna rum and it was a revelation at the time. I have since tasted several Savannas, but this is still one of my favorite bottlings from the distillery. From today's perspective, it was also a bargain.
Review by Leo Krüper
Interessanter Savanna Creole. Zu den Agricole Noten kommt hier eine tolle Grüner Apfel Richtung mit rein. Sehr leicht im Geschmack, Alkohol kaum spürbar wie bei guten Agricoles. Natürlich überhaupt nicht mehr verfügbar diese Abfüllung, aber schöner Single Cask bevor der Savanna-Hype losging.
Review by rbfsnow
Very good (the good old bottles) from Savanna Agricole. This was my third Savanna at the time (2018) and I love it !
Review by zabo
Nachdem ich in letzter Zeit nun einige andere Savannas probieren durfte, kann ich diesen besser einordnen. Für mich reiht sich dieser im Mittelfeld meiner bisherigen Verkostungen ein. Solide und gute Abfüllung.

Erstaunlich gut!
Review by Émile Shevek
Pungent nose with solvent/resin, some ripeness/ester, flowers and citrus. Aromatic palate with ester/fermented, schnapps and a sweet floral/herbal aftertaste with a slight touch of wood/roast, but shallow and very delicate, with a medium, lingering finish.
