The Savanna 2006 Traditionnel Finish HERR 10yo is a rum of exceptional complexity and intensity, with a limited production of only 721 bottles. This molasses-derived rum, produced by the Savanna Distillery in Réunion, was first column-distilled in 2006 and then aged for 10 years in a unique HERR cask.
The HERR cask has greatly marked the rum, resulting in a complex profile that is both fruity and spicy. The aroma is an explosion of fruit candies, particularly red fruits, followed by a round and caramelized rum with a strong kick of camphor and pepper that tickles the nostrils. The aroma also features hints of iodine, olive, geranium, toasted wood, resin, and menthol, which evolves into a more Guadeloupe-style confit fruit and resin balance over time.
On the palate, the rum is initially fresh and subtly oaky, with a wave of HERR notes (black and red fruits, olive) that leaves a slightly dry and bitter finish. However, the core of the rum is rich and gourmet, with notes of nuts, molasses, and toasted wood. The rum strikes a beautiful balance of spice and heat, with a unique flavor profile that combines spicy ginger and peppercorns with warm licorice undertones.
This rum is a true masterpiece for the discerning rum connoisseur, with an ABV of 50.8%. The HERR finishing touch adds a brilliant balance of spice and fruitiness, making it a truly rare and exceptional rum.

According to reviewers, the aroma of the Savanna 2006 Traditionnel Finish HERR 10yo is incredibly intense, filling the room with fruit esters, including apple, banana, and sweet fruit salad, along with honey, vanilla, and cake. However, the taste does not entirely match the promise of the aroma, as the HERR finish results in a profile that is spicy and peppery with notes of wood, ginger, pepper, chili, licorice, and vanilla. While the finish is medium-long, it is slightly bitter, spicy, woody, and dry. Overall, reviewers give it a score of 85 points, noting that its complex profile may not appeal to everyone.
