The Savanna 2009 Cognac Single Cask #740 9yo 49.9% 500ml is a luxurious rum offering from the renowned Savanna Distillery in Réunion. This exquisite rum, distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2019, is crafted with meticulous care and boasts a robust ABV of 49.9%. Limited to just 846 numbered bottles, it has been aged for 9 years in a former Cognac cask, giving it a unique and sophisticated profile. The aroma is a delightful blend of ripe banana, succulent pear, sweet peaches, and a hint of hazelnuts and almonds. On the palate, it presents a bold and complex fusion of woody tones, a sophisticated cognac feel, and a fruity edge. The taste profile marries tropical fruit salad notes with hints of dried fruit and tannic complexity, delivering a rich and smooth texture. Mid-palate flavors include grilled nuts, a warm motor, and a hint of soy sauce, with boisé notes, vanilla custard, black pepper, coffee, molasses, and toasted nuts unfolding beautifully upon aeration. The finish is lively and decided, featuring concentrated almond paste, crisp nougatine, and lingering traces of stone fruits and raisins.
