Habitation Velier Savanna White HERR 2018 62,5%

"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."

"awesome! Pineapple gummy bears to drink 🤤 but also ne ne ne portion of ester and steam. For me, the absolute benchmark Savanna Mr. White. It hardly gets any better!Monster atomic daiquiri with it by the way!!💥"

"This one was a retaste and I stick to my score from the first run. ------------- A nice rum from Habitation, not up to the others I tried in this batch, but still OK. The nose is funky and fruity. There is also a slight sweetness with solvents, tar and wet tobacco. The palate is living up to the nose with funk and fruitiness. A rather intense palate with varnish and a floral note on top. The finish is long and warm with orange zest and a smoky touch."

"A highly aromatic Savanna unaged in High Ester mode. The nose is concentrated and extremely fruity, with red fruit (strawberry, raspberry), ripe tropical fruit, apple, melon and tangy citrus. Medicinal notes combine with floral fragrances and the vegetal notes of aromatic herbs and olive to create a very fresh, fragrant nose. A very pleasant rum to smell. The attack on the palate is just as gripping, with strong red fruit notes (raspberry, strawberry), funky notes of esters, varnish, solvents and glue, and hints of olive, flowers and herbs that add a spicy edge to the juice. The alcohol is remarkably well integrated, without the slightest aggressiveness, even though this is a rum with character. The finish is long, sustained by velvety, ripe red fruit, phenolic, floral and herbaceous notes. Notes of pepper and leather tingle the aftertaste, with a sensation of warmth that's not unpleasant. A highly accomplished white rum that works wonders neat or in mixology."

"Une salade de fruits mûrs, un brin de colle, de la saumure. Une délicatesse folle malgré un côté extrême. Excellent. Vraiment superbe ! J'ai souvent du mal avec les rhum Savanna vieillis mais leurs blancs et tout particulièrement celui-ci est incroyable."

"Nach dem Einschenken macht sich direkt das Gummibärchen-/Kaugummi-Aroma im Raum breit. Gefällt mir schonmal sehr gut. Am Gaumen dann auch eine leicht medizinische Note und nicht ganz so rund wie die Nase, aber trotzdem sehr lecker und alles dabei was die Nase versprochen hat. Gefällt mir in Summe richtig gut, vermutlich sogar das Beste was ich bisher an "weißen" Rum im Glas hatte. Macht sich bestimmt noch besser in Cocktails. Bin gespannt auf den neuen HV Herr :)"

"I compared the Habitation velier HERR, the HERR 57 (2019) and the HERR 57 2022. The first two are very similar with the HERR 57 (2019) being slightly better in my opinion. Both are full of red fruit, berries, bubble gum, glue and flowers. The HERR 57 (2022) has more vegetal notes and is less fruity. This one was my least favourite out of the three."

"Naprosto unikátní Savanna vůně melounovo jahodových žvýkaček. Chuťově taky, přezrálé ovoce, meloun, jahody. Tohle je totální úlet, který mě moc baví, ake přiznávám, že při úplně první degustaci jsem tento rum nepobíral. Z toho plyne: dávat druhou šanci má smysl 😃"
