Savanna Edition Bois-Rouge 1992 - 2022 57%

Tasting note : On the shores of the indian ocean, at the foot of the Piton de La Fournaise
volcano, Distillerie Savanna has been hand-crafting rare rums since 1870. After more than a
century at domaine de Savanna, nestled in the foothills of the island’s west coast, in 1992 the
distillery moved to the Bois Rouge site in Saint André of the east coast.
Released in a limited edition to celebrate the thirtieth annniversary of this event in 2022, this
old agricole rum is a blend of six carefully hand-picked barrels.

Colour : Golden, with thick, fast legs
Nose : The nose opens on aromas of sweet pastry with warm raisin brioche. Pleasant prune
and vanilla notes quickly appear, then orange blossom and tart apple bring a livelier, more
floral touch. Once allowed to breathe, the alcohol is stronger and the 57% can be smelt; a
waxy woodiness appears more clearly. Pineapple and cream can be detected, adding to the
rich sweetness. The nose has character if given time to open up.
Palate : The attack is mild, there is a viscous texture that swiftly leads to honey and notes of
wax. At mid-palate we find sweet pastries, with cooked pineapple complemented by citrus
peel. The vanilla feels drier on the palate, as if we had a whole pod in the mouth. Some nice
dry apricot rounds off the dried fruits of the nose.
Finish : Smoky, with notes of roasting and tobacco. Lingering leather and spices (cinnamon
and allspice) leave a very pleasant sensation of sweetness.
Conclusion : An agricultural rum with flavourful spices and zesty fresh fruit as well as refined
dried fruit flavours. Despite the alcohol apparent in the nose, this is a well-balanced rum
