The Savanna 2007 HERR Japan Tribute Grand Arome Cask No.218 is a limited-edition rum from Réunion's prestigious Savanna distillery, with only 761 bottles produced. This 10-year-old rum, distilled in 2007, was created using molasses and a column still, then aged in a unique HERR cask and bottled at a robust 61.3% ABV.
The Grand Arome style of rum is renowned for its lively and aromatic character, often used by Savanna as the base for their aged rums. This particular expression stands out with its delightful bouquet of mango, pineapple, woody, medicinal, and fruity notes. Upon tasting, you'll be greeted with a medley of flavors, including woody, overripe mango, sweet caramel, and a hint of vanilla and mint.
The complexity of this rum is further enhanced by its balanced interplay of fruit, caramel, and spices, accentuated by a light smoky feel and chocolate notes towards the end of the palate. The finish is fruity, smoky, woody, and spicy with a touch of herbal sweetness and toffee.
This unique rum was first selected by Shinanoya & Bar Lamp and exclusively bottled for the Japanese market in 2017. Although it aged for 11 years in cask #218, it was released as a 10-year-old, brut de fût, with only 761 bottles available. It is a true treasure for rum connoisseurs seeking a well-balanced, fruity, and powerful experience.

This rum has been praised for its complexity and balance. Reviewers appreciated the lovely interplay between the fruit, caramel, and spices, with some noting the presence of molasses. The light smoky feel and wood in this release were particularly enjoyable, with chocolate notes appearing at the end of the palate, making it an overall delightful experience.
One reviewer mentioned it was their favorite Savanna rum of the tasting. Another noted the rum's aromatic esters filled the room, with a sweet and fruity aroma reminiscent of fudge, sandalwood, and candied fruits. On the palate, the rum starts sweet with fudge, becoming quickly sharp and powerful due to its high alcohol content. The finish is medium-long, fruity, spicy, with chocolate and toffee notes, and a pleasant woody aftertaste.
Although some found it too close to whiskey and not enough like traditional rum, it remains a remarkable expression for many, leaving a lasting impression on rum enthusiasts worldwide.
