Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 2 2012
Sip this neat and you get overripe orchard and tropical fruit — peach, apple, papaya, pineapple — over floral honey and a green, grassy agricole freshness, with the Herr cask adding a fruity ester lift. At 56.4% the alcohol shows through. One taster called it "a typical Reunion rum," and a good one, though several wanted more depth. The finish runs woody and herbal but ends sooner than the cask promises.

How does Savanna HERR Japan Tribute 2 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Fruity, floral Reunion agricole, slightly thin finish Well-liked as a fruity, floral Savanna agricole with a Herr ester twist. The common gripe: a bit thin and short, less complex and intense than fans hoped from this cask.

Review by Morgan Garet
Nez très médicinal au 1er abord sur le cirage, le menthol et un côté métallique. Après ouverture cela devient sucré et fruité sans réussir nommer ces fruits. La bouche attaque avec des notes de miel de sucre, l'acidité de l'ananas et une fraîcheur végétale. Des notes de vieux bois, des épices et le cirage donnent tout son caractère à ce rhum. Ma finale est très longue sur des notes boisées et herbacées. Un rhum complexe et élégant qui garde une grande gourmandise en même temps.

This is a typical Reunion rum and it's a very good one.
Review by Arthur Moreau
Un savanna léger, fruité et floral avec beaucoup plus de sagesse que certains de ces pairs à l’image des carpes sur la boîte.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leckerer traditionelle Agricole savanna mit grand arome Herr finish. Sehr angenehm zu trinken, mild und aromatisch. Könnte aber insgesamt etwas mehr komplex sein. Hatte ich mir etwas mehr von erwartet!
