The Savanna 2007 Reunion Rhum Vieux 9yo Calvados Finish 10yo 61.4% 500ml is a masterful creation from the renowned Savanna distillery, located in the picturesque region of Réunion. Known for their expertise in producing both agricultural and traditional molasses-based rums, Savanna has once again delivered an exceptional product. This particular expression is an agricultural rum, distilled from pure sugarcane juice. It is aged for nine years in casks that previously held Cognac, followed by an additional year in a former Calvados cask, creating a unique and well-concentrated flavor profile. On the nose, this rum takes a moment to reveal its true depth, diverging from the typical agricultural profile. Instead, it presents a sophisticated blend of solvent and light, refined sugarcane, alongside oxidized nutty notes like those found in walnuts. This oxidation gently introduces the expert integration of Calvados, providing mature and rustic apple notes that evoke the essence of freshly picked, yellow-fleshed fruit. These notes harmonize beautifully with the fresh vegetal undertones of the sugarcane. As the rum aerates, it develops a fuller body, maintaining its distinct profile while introducing charming wood notes, complemented by hints of vanilla, coconut, and spices. The apple note returns, even more oxidized and mature, blending seamlessly with exotic fruits and sugars. On the palate, the rum delivers a subtle prickle of green fruit that swiftly transitions into a parade of much riper, juice-filled fruits. Lively wood notes, with nuances of stone fruit and prunes, seize the palate, followed by the rounder wood notes from the nose, which envelop the taste with flavors of almond paste and vanilla. The balance and concentration are exceptional, and the agricultural profile, though not overt, adds a unique character. This rum, from the 2007 harvest, has matured for a total of 10 years—nine years in a Cognac cask and an additional year in a former Calvados cask. The cask was meticulously selected for its exceptional qualities, and the rum was bottled without reduction. The finish is long and savory, featuring resinous vegetal notes, dried fruits like raisins and prunes, and a lingering presence of oxidized apple.
