The Wild Island Edition - Grand Agricole "Calvados Finish" is a unique rum produced at the Savanna distillery in Réunion. Distilled in 2012 from pure sugarcane juice using a Column Still, this rum was aged for 6 years and bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 57.6%. This limited release comprises only 696 bottles. The nose of this rum reveals notes of woody apple, fresh sugarcane, herbal undertones, and a touch of menthol. On the palate, it displays a harmonious blend of apple, fruity, vegetal, sweet, and barrel notes with an oily texture. The finish is long and complex, marked by tobacco, smoky oak, and hints of peat. From the "Wild Island Edition 2020" series, this Savanna 2012 is a 6-year-old Single Cask (#984) agricultural rum, aged in an ex-Cognac barrel, then finished in an ex-Calvados cask for a few months. This series of four Single Casks released by Savanna highlights the diversity of Réunion Island and brings together an agricultural rum and three traditional rums, including two grand aroma rums. The packaging of this series once again showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the Savanna distillery. The Calvados finish is subtle but adds an interesting layer to the overall flavor profile. This 6-year-old rum is an intriguing and creative offering, successfully combining the Agricole and Calvados profiles to create a distinctive and memorable drinking experience.
