Savanna Lontan vieux Grand Arôme 2004
"So much fruit in a few drops," as one member put it — pineapple, overripe banana and the signature Savanna glue note, wrapped in a Port darkness of red fruits, herbs and licorice. Most agree the nose is gorgeous. The catch several tasters name: at 46% it can read thin and a touch watery on the palate, so it drinks more like an easy daily sipper than a Grand Arôme flavor bomb.

- Signature glue notes

How does Savanna Lontan vieux Grand Arôme 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 49 community reviews.
Fruity, gluey Savanna GA that drinks thin Loved for its fruity, gluey Savanna nose and delicate Port finish. The recurring gripe: dilution makes it feel thin and slightly sharp, with a shortish finish that lets the nose down.

Gut trinkbarer GA lecker Fruchtig Floral , relativ neutral was den Port angeht was mir gut gefällt... leider etwas schwach dadurch eher ein daily (wenn man genug hat 😅) Wer ihn zu einem Fairen Kurs erwischt macht nicht verkehrt.

Review by Thunderbird
Ein sehr interessanter Savanna GA… die leichte ABV stört hier erstaunlicherweise nicht. Es sind genügend Aromen vorhanden , die das Geschmacksprofil tragen. Für mich kommt hier jedoch das Portwein-Finish zu stark durch, besonders im Abgang.
Review by Basti
An der Nase sehr viele fruchtige Noten, besonders trop. Früchte u.a. Ananas und Banane, dazu die für mich typischen Savanna-Kaugummi Noten und etwas Menthol, Gewürze und Portwein. Am Gaumen das gleiche Spiel wie an der Nase. Ein ziemlich runder Rum, der aufgrund seiner Verdünnung ziemlich süffig ist. Gefällt mir gut.
Review by rbfsnow
Delicious everyday Grand Arôme, very smooth and fruity. The Port finish is very delicate and works very well.
Review by Filip Šikula
Moc přijemná savanna s velmi přijemnou cenovkou. Hromada ovoce, esterů, květin. Je překvapivé, kolik chutí může takto nizké abv nabídnout. Tyto high ester savamma jsou prostě skvělé. Každý by měl ochutnat!
Review by Serge
Grand Arôme of the rather small variety ... a Grand Arömchen, so to speak. A little thin due to the low ABV but nice and dark in character - probably due to the port finish. Nice sipper but no savanna taste explosion
Review by HenryL
A wonderful nose, that's what I love about Savanna! In this case probably even darker due to the port finish. Herbs and menthol paired with red fruits and a sweetness of very ripe banana. I like it very much. Surprisingly thin in the mouth and still somewhat alcoholic. The port comes through well, paired with some wood and spice. Unfortunately a little disappointing after the nose. In the finish, however, really cool Em-Eukal sweets come to the fore again
Review by Galli33
A nice rum from Savanna with some pleasant Grand Arôme notes. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not well integrated, making the rum feel quite sharp on both the nose and the palate. Another drawback is that, despite its 46%, it comes across as rather thin on the palate, with a disappointingly short finish due to the dilution…
Review by Pavel Spacek
Great taste for 46%. Grand arome is incredible. 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 Jonas
What can I say?! I love Savanna. Unique profile. That smoke in the finish always brings me close to Islay. The 46% is enough for that.
Review by Rummiamo
Un grande savanna, i descrittori rumx non rendono giustizia alla sapidità, acidità e complessità di questo rum. Squilibrato ma davvero notevole. Il problema di queste release è che hanno raggiunto prezzi folli e nessuno ormai le apre per berle
Review by Vojta
My first Savanna and I'm astonished For 5y and 46% you get more than you can imagine Woody, fruity, technical with hints of earthy and floral flavours Rather longer finish Now I need to get some CS from Savanna

Review by Michal Jurka
For the price of about 50e you get quite a lot here. I was pleasantly surprised . Earthy notes of herbs and spices with licorice meet red fruits and hints of red wine. Also little estery, nice dose of wood.
