The Savanna Intense 40% 700ml rum bottle is a distinguished product of the Savanna distillery, located on the island of Réunion. Known for its high-quality rums, the Savanna distillery has crafted a unique and intense rum that embodies the vibrant spirit of its origin. This rum is produced from the fermentation of non-crystallizable sugar industry byproducts, specifically molasses, often referred to as "sugarcane honey." This ingredient, which remains in liquid form, forms the aromatic heart of this noble sugarcane product.
Visually, the rum presents a clear, transparent appearance. The nose is richly aromatic, dominated by notes of pear and exotic fruits, particularly banana and pineapple. The initial taste is smooth and transitions into fruity notes, with mirabelle standing out. The finish is surprisingly marked by sugarcane notes, which is unexpected for a molasses-based rum, accompanied by the aromas of ripe fruits.
The Savanna distillery has skillfully created a vigorous traditional rum with a unique, suave texture, utilizing exceptional stainless steel vats to ensure neutrality. This meticulous process has refined the rum into a crystal-clear eau de vie, resulting in a robust, suave, and intense rum that is a true representation of the Savanna distillery's expertise.
While the rum has complex fruit aromas and a smooth taste, some reviewers suggest it is more suited for use in cocktails rather than pure sipping.
The rum features dominant aromas of pear, banana, pineapple, and other exotic fruits, with a subtle hint of sugarcane.
It can be enjoyed neat, as its fruity notes are quite appealing. However, it also works excellently in fruit-based cocktails or even in combination with Calvados for drinks like the Apple Daiquiri.
Its production process using non-crystallizable molasses and stainless steel vats results in a crystal-clear and intensely aromatic rum, which sets it apart from other traditional rums.
Aroma: Grass, floral, thin, unknown, sugarcane
Taste: Diluted, grassy, flowery, thin, hay, nutmeg, pear, fruity, plums
Finish: Thin, diluted
Overall Taste: Savanna Intense offers a diluted, grassy, and floral profile with hints of hay, fruit, and a touch of spice, delivering a complex but subtle experience.
The rum's distinct fruity aromas make it very pleasant, and it's particularly recommended for those who prefer a less sugarcane-forward white rum with more fruit flavors. It's versatile enough to be enjoyed neat or in cocktails. While some found its aromatic intensity and finish to be moderate, others appreciated the unique blend of fruity notes and smooth texture. Overall, it may be more suited for mixology rather than pure tasting.
