Édition Restaurant Blanc Paris HERR
Top review from Oliver:
"Excellent HERR bottling. Not as brute as the HERR LMDW 60th, for example, but the strong fruit component provides a nice counterpoint to the high ester associations. "Accessible" and yet multi-layered HERR."
HERRLINE (Selected by Swell de Spirits) HERR
Top review from Oliver:
"It is clear from the first whiff: we are dealing with a HERR. Wild, overripe pineapple and mango, strawberries and olives. Wow! On the palate, there's a pleasant crispness. Overripe strawberries, apricots and mangoes again. The tropical 8 years in a cognac barrel round it off successfully. Outstanding release!"
Collection Grand Arôme The Chronicles (LMDW)
Top review from Lukas Jäger:
"Tag 9 im RumX-Ester-Kalender, blind. Dass hier trotz Ester kein Jamaika im Glas ist, war wohl schnell klar. Relativ schnell ging mein Tipp dann auch nach Réunion zu Savanna, da sich vor allem im Abgang das typische Profil der Destille zeigt. Unglaublich komplexe Nase, die aus dem Glas schon entgegenströmt und nahezu alles bietet: Frucht, schokoladige Noten, pflanzliches, Menthol, das macht Spaß! Am Gaumen dann schließlich etwas dunkler, rostiger, ja sogar bitterer, aber in einem angenehmen Maß. Dazu weiterhin eine bunte Ladung Ester, sodass keine Daseinsberechtigungen für den Kalender fehlen. Tolle Abfüllung und perfekt für diese Aktion!"
Collection Grand Arôme Thunderstruck
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"what a grenade!!🤤⚡💥🤯🇷🇪 incredibly complex. After 1H of breathing, cinnamon pastry, apple pockets and honey banana on the nose. Plus Incredibly mild for 65%, horny sour cherry, pineapple, strawberry and mint, chamomile olive notes and very complex and dangerously drinkable. Musty, fermented and glue-heavy to no end. This thing is definitely the full broadside of Savanna Grande arome as it gets! The lava and Madras are here but I find even a good track geiler!"
Reunion (Bottled for Germany)
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Pineapple / strawberry gummy bears on the nose high 10. but also Campino strawberry caramel vanilla yogurt candy 🤣Taste then also pineapple, strawberry candy, green sour granny smith apple and mint"
La Reunion 19
Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Crosstasting 14.05.2023: RX9388: 75/100 RX300: 76/100 RX14156: 87/100 RX7316: 89/100 RX308: 90/100 RX219: 92/100 RumX-Adventskalender 15.12.2023 What is striking about this rum is that you really don't feel any alcohol at all on the nose, but it really packs a punch in the mouth. This rum really has two very, very different sides."
Collection Métissage Maputo
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Really cool how much Savanna & Armagnac harmonize. Lots of wood, lots of spice, some glue, red chili flakes with dark chocolate raisin, red grape and baked banana, and dark chocolate cookies. Then also a bit bitter on the finish, astringent and with lots of tannins and glue, menthol and overripe banana and strong mocha, and Really Dark Dark Chocolate. Alcohol is very well integrated and really fun to drink. Very drinkable for a Savanna! For me in terms of Savanna in the Armagnac barrel definitely the benchmark currently."
Rum Artesanal Unshared Cask for Germany
Top review from DomM:
"Nice nose with notes from the cask, dried fruits and some glue. Very enjoyable. Complex and elegant on the palate. Presenting dried fruits and lots of spices (cinnamon) in an excellent balance. Influence from the cognac cask is noticeable. Alcohol is very well integrated."
Unshared Cask for Belgium
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Wirklich toller traditionelle savanna. Armagnac, Traube, grüner Apfel, Erdbeere, Minze, gebranntes Karamell, dunkle Schokolade, dezent Chili und insgesamt einfach sehr ausbalanciert. Erinnert leicht an den Maputo nur eben in deutlich "leichter". Schönes Ding!!"
HERR Japan Tribute 3
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a retasting and I stick to my initial score. ----- #4130 This is a very nice and well balanced HERR release and if you like the HERR mark you have to try this one. The ABV has been well integrated and the floral and fruity notes just come at you from a distance. Oily and warm on the palate and it draws pretty nice curtains in the glass despite its age. The empty glass has some nice caramel and pastries."
L’Absolu
Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted at Whisky Live in Paris in 2024 and Savanna high ester tasting. Overripe fruit on the nose, red fruit with banana, vegetal and light oak. The palate is lively and complex, with the same aromas as on the nose, plus a sort of bitter herb candy (Ricola) and dried herbs. Burnt caramel and pastries on the finish brighten up the dry herbs and vegetal. I find it much better than the Unshared Cask for France 2024."
White HERR
Top review from Mirco:
"Insanely unaged rum with infinite fruits/eggs. Best white savanna if not unaged in general. In any case, I've never had anything that can hold a candle to this bottling. Endless fun, both in a cocktail and neat."
Art of Rhum by Vast
Top review from Oliver:
"Tasted for the first time at ProWein in Düsseldorf. Lots of green apple and herbs (dill?) on the nose. On the palate creamy sweet (in a positive sense) and spicy floral. Some nutmeg and green fruits again. After half an hour the rum opens up and you are rewarded with a great balanced profile. Spicy, some floral and a pleasant sweetness. Alcohol very well integrated."
Edition Bois Rouge (1992-2022)
Top review from cigares :
"Un rhum goûté au Rum and Gin Festival à Lucerne en 2023 et 2024. Un nez très végétal, floral avec de l’olive verte, des fruits jaunes et du lierre. La bouche est pleine d’arômes avec beaucoup d’olive verte et toutes sortes d’herbes et des fruits. La finale est assez longue avec des arômes végétaux, du tabac frais, du bois de cèdre et surtout de la gousse de vanille."
2022 Limited Edition HERR
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money in this one as well. Very fresh and fruity from opening the bottle and warm on the palate with some ester. I have tried a few HERR and this one is not fully up to par with the average. The 2019 is still my personal favourite ☺️"
Lontan 57.5 Grand Arôme
Top review from Oliver:
"Extremely fruity pineapple note - pure summer! Just the right level of power on the palate paired with typical Grand Arôme aromas. Great fun on its own and also makes really tasty daiqiris. An absolute recommendation in the white rum segment!"
Lontan 57 Blanc
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This was a lovely Savanna and we all agreed that it was really good. Fruity and fresh and you could small the rum standing on the table in front of you. Price to quality is very good in my mind. The surprise comes when you sample it because the nose is a bit light but it explodes on your palate."
Rhum Traditionnel Le Must
Top review from Galli33:
"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!"
Collectors Series La Reunion No. 7 Grand Arôme
Top review from RumTaTa:
"Second tasting: I have corrected my rating by -5 points because this bottling is not representative of the style "Grande Arome". The rum is still good but does not offer the typical spectacle for Grande Arome.nose: very present alcohol, I feel already as "pungent", no typical Grand Arome notes! Instead, influence of the wine barrel (sweet wine?)Palate: again sweetness and strong alcoholic presence, spicy notes, cocoa and barrel are added. No typical Savanna flavors like strawberry, gummy bear or Hubbabubba bubble gum but the wine barrel can be guessed.Finish: Not typical of a Grande Arome, the wine barrel has made the rum very balanced. Very good rum but not to be compared with a classic Grande Arome."
Art of Rum by Yann le Gall
Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted at the Rhum Fest in 2024 and at the Masterclass for RumX 2024. A nose that vacillates between dark, woody, spicy, very lightly tarred and fruity (pear) and vegetal. The freshness is perhaps a little lacking. The palate is fruity with spices, wood and less vegetal than on the nose. The finish is rather short on yellow fruit and citrus. Spices and a hint of tar at the very end. The empty glass is beautiful."
Reunion 2018
Top review from HenryL:
"My first Savanna, I was directly in love. But after I tasted the 2007 Rum Nation, this one falls back a bit. Very very tasty and good Savanna, a little more alcoholic and less complex. But has something of everything, fruit, wood, spices and floral notes. Even with increasing experience still a great part"
Unshared Cask for Belgium
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"27.02.2021 A nice blind tasting in a friend's home. Bottles covered in tin foil and only numbers to match up the glass with the bottle. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, light roasted, or and, coconut, faint smoke, raisin. Palate Balanced, fresh, light wood, orange, coconut, light spicy, faint mint, light vegetal. Finish Medium long, light wood, dried fruit, light orange, faint licorice."
Métis
Top review from cigares :
"Savanna Masterclass pour RumX 2024. Un nez dominé par la banane avec de la vanille. Un petit côté végétal (menthe?), et doucereux. La première bouche est acqueuse, la dilution se fait sentir. La banane est très présente. La finale est courte avec de la fraîcheur, un léger menthol et un léger boisé peu perceptible avant. Un rhum sans prétention mais agréable à boire."
