Savanna Rhum Traditionnel Le Must

Very good for starting to discover Savanna rums, especially for a beginner. It's easy to drink thanks to its roundness of fruit, caramel, vanilla, and light woodiness. The share of grand arôme gives it a bit of complexity without overwhelming.

26.09.2025 Tasting with Savanna, while in Paris for the Whisky Live 2025. ---------- A bit sad that they watered it so far down because some of the flavors are really light. Would have preferred a higher ABV for more powerful flavours. Fruity with floral notes and roasted wood but a bit too light.

For me, a beginner's guide to savannarum! It offers a lot, but unfortunately only in the beginning! It's too thin to be really convincing, maybe as a sipper it still fits. Tasted again on 26.09.25 at the RumX-Savanna tasting

Thanks to the RumX Team for this great opportunity!! Unfortunately, I missed the only tasting due a delayed flight… This one took the third place in my tasting, very fruity, with some nice notes of furniture waxes, bitter orange and honey. A really nice daily driver, without looling on the price tag!

Tasting 19/4-24 Peters vin. Nose: Some different flowery notes, caramel, a little spicies. Tast: A light rum, some Spice, little grassy notes, little smoke. The abv should have been higher. Finish: some light smoke, bitternes and pepper.

Wirklich schöne Nase nach reifen Äpfeln, tropischen Früchten und intensiven Gewürzen und Lebkuchen . Recht vielversprechend. Mir persönlich etwas zu holzig, kräuterig dann am Gaumen und auch gleichzeitig zu dünn. Im Abgang kommen leicht salzige Noten zusammen mit Apfelchips, weißer Schokolade und Tanninen vom Eichenfass. Ein paar % mehr Alkohol hätten hier sicherlich geholfen die Aromen etwas zu intensivieren. Trifft nicht ganz meinen Geschmack. Ist aber definitiv ein easy sipping rum.... Guter Einsteiger.

Savanna Masterclass for RumX July 2024/September 2025: An der Nase mit einladender Frische und Fruchtaromatik, die nicht bis in die für Grand Arômes üblichen Extreme geht. Am Gaumen verlängert sich das Aromenspektrum, und erhält noch etwas herbe Fassnoten dazu. Ein ansprechender Standard-Rum, dem es nicht an Reiz fehlt, und der auch dank seinem Preisniveau einen exzellenten Einstieg in die Savanna-Welt bietet.

RumX Savanna Masterclass 12.7. Even today, the le must makes a very round impression, a light sipping rum that would benefit from a little less water. This leaves us with a very good impression and the hope of a somewhat stronger version in the future First tasting: Great, slightly medicinal nose, very roundly blended and correspondingly nice to drink

Savanna Masterclass for RumX 2024. The nose is vegetal, with dried fruit, lemon and vanilla. There's a hint of dilution on the first palate, then roast, dried fruit, lemon and fruit arrive with a hint of spice. The finish is rather short, but surprisingly long for dilution. There's a roasted note with fruit and citrus and a light woodiness. A very fine finish for a rum that is, alas, too diluted, but nonetheless very well made, easy to drink and well balanced.

Finally found some time to taste it again. Once again, a big thank you to the RumX team for the great masterclass, during which I had to say goodbye after a few minutes. As for the rum itself, a nice easy sipper that would have benefited from a few more turns.

8:On the nose, the first impression is of a small fruit salad in syrup. At first, pear, mango and cherry are quite fresh and pale, protecting themselves in the shade of a small film of crunchy sugar. With aeration, the lightness and freshness are retained, but the fruit is enveloped in a toasty woodiness, itself covered by a thin layer of sweet-spiced honey. This light patina tempers the toasty character of the oak, preserving the delicacy of the fruit.The second nose is nicer-8,5. 8,2:The mouth is more complex than we could have imagined, and shows several facets in fractions of a second. Let's try slow motion to see what happens. First, the toasty woodiness sends up a small cloud of sweet spices, which come to rest on a bed of roasted, caramelized pecans. Then, the fruit salad encountered on the nose is baked, the fruit becomes stronger, more tropical, more caramelized, its pits resurfacing.Light smokiness arises. 8:The finish is both roasted and pastry-like, with pits and red fruit tannins, followed by a layer of ripe exotic fruit that maintains the length.

Fruchtig frische Nase mit etwas Vanille und Honig , etwas Banane und Anklang von Mango. Hier spürt man die Verdünnung sehr deutlich... Anfangs wirkt er fasst wässrig... dann kommt doch noch etwas Fruchtigkeit Vanille und leichte Holznoten. Alles in allem ok aber nix was man braucht nichtmal zum Mixen ein must have für mich jedenfalls.

Toller Einstiegs-Savanna mit schöner Kombination aus rostigen Noten (Kaffee, Toffee, …) und fruchtigen Assoziationen. Der Grand Arôme Anteil bringt eine schöne Komplexität in den Blend. Angenehme Trinkstärke.

Tasted at the 11th GRF in the Savanna Tasting: a newcomer to the Savanna world, nothing more... Update in the RumX-Masterclass: Beautiful blend that delivers the typical Savanna characteristics. Blend of Traditional and Grand Arome

Re-tasting the Savanna Masterclass we missed ... Immediately worlds better than the Métis. Spicy, mature, caramelly, full-bodied. You can drink it on its own, but I still think of it more as a mixer.
