Savanna + RumX 17 Years – Grand Arôme

RumX recently released a bottling of Savanna rum . It is a Grand Arôme from the Savalle column still, with 665 g/hlpa of esters. It underwent 17 years of tropical ageing on La Réunion, in an ex-cognac and ex-armagnac cask. After all these years it comes at a fierce 68.7% ABV.They announced this already as the rum of 2026 which is quite a bold claim. Of course it's a very old Savanna and it comes from a highly appreciated batch of casks, but we'll see how it performs in the glass.
