Straight from the emblematic Savalle copper column, Créol Straight expresses all the flavours of a great agricultural rum at the raw distillation stage.

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.

Savanna Intense draws its identity from Reunion’s Creole soul. The result of three centuries of development, its bold bouquet comes into its own when preparing cocktails and macerated rums. Rums refined from sugar cane are the aromatic essence of molasses, or ‘sugar cane honey’ as it is sometimes known: an uncrystallisedmother-liquor produced as a quality by-product of sugar cane pressing.

10 years is the magic age for a rum. It is then at the firmament of its evolution. With its strength of character and woody sweetness, it will conquer the most demanding palates.

Tasting notes Colour A bright, beautiful deep gold The legs are light and of average width. Nose A basket of fruit and tangy boiled sweets! It’s bold, fruity and fresh The fruitiness lies somewhere between banana, pear, and white peach. Notes of candy are an invitation to indulge. When allowed to breathe the nose becomes more complex, with honey and dried fruit such as raisin, dates and apricot There is a rich hint of freshly baked bread and butter, with woody undertones. Palate The palate develops with intense ripe fruit and small, soft fruit (wild strawberries or sour cherries). FinishIn the finish, notes of milk chocolate ganache and (light) roasting add complexity to this fine rum.

Emblematic and unique, combining long molasses fermentation and Savalle copper column distillation.

This white rum is fermented using a traditional method, making it a unique (re)discovery for aficionados. As a Grand Arôme rum, its production requires extended fermentation, and the secret of Lontan is rooted in the very popular artisan rums produced by 18th-century sugar refineries. Only four distilleries in the world have been able to succeed in performing the subtle alchemy to make such a rum. Characterised by spices and ripe fruit, there is a fine expression here of the aromas found in molasses – or ‘sugar cane honey’ as it is known – which are revealed using traditional methods in a very long, mixed fermentation process, which has been skilfully mastered.
