Rum, France / La Reunion
The only distillery in the world to produce rhum agricole (from pure cane juice), sugar refinery rum (from molasses) and grand arôme rum (from molasses, with a long fermentation), Savanna has sold its spirits under its own name since 2003. A blend of two grand arôme rums – one aged in an ex-cognac cask, the other in an ex-Port cask – finished together for a year and a half in an ex-cognac barrel, this version is the fruit of a collaboration between the distillery’s cellar master Johnny Landais and La Maison du Whisky. Continually revealing new flavours and aromas, it takes the taster on an olfactory and gustatory adventure whose complexity is rivalled only by its length.
