The Savanna 2018 HERR Japan Tribute 2022 Release is a limited-edition, cask-strength rum with an ABV of 61.9%, crafted from superior quality sugar cane juice and distilled using traditional Column Still methodology. This exceptional rum was aged for four years at the esteemed French Savanna distillery on Reunion Island. The 2022 release is the third opus in the HERR Tribute series, following the HERR millésime 2006, which was initially aged in cask 218 and later used to finish two other rums.
For the 2022 release, the master distiller decided to experiment with the aging of a white agricultural rum, distilled in 2019. The result is a unique and atypical rum with a distinct profile. The nose offers aromas of amyl, floral, and fruity notes, followed by a well-structured woody character and a lively, vegetal, and slightly bitter finish.
Upon opening the bottle, you are greeted by an intoxicating blend of fruity, floral, woody, and earthy aromas, with a refreshing hint of mint. A single sip unveils a cornucopia of layered flavors - the dominant fruitiness is complemented beautifully by floral undertones, a woody backbone, and subtle touches of raisin, and exotic pineapple. This exquisite rum is a true testament to the mastery of the distillation process and the art of aging.
