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.

Le Savanna Lontan 57% is a unique Grand Arôme white rum, produced on the island of Réunion by the Savanna distillery. A true concentrate of character, this rum results from an exceptionally long fermentation (six days compared to two to three for a classic rum), giving it a rare aromatic intensity. Distilled in a copper column, it reveals an explosive profile where overripe fruits mingle with notes of brined olives and iodized accents. Its ester content, an indicator of its aromatic power, varies depending on the batches, each produced in a limited edition.

In the past, all rums destined for Europe spent many months in oak barrels, so the only rums our ancestors knew were aged rums. The result is a very refined yet well-balanced rum, refreshing and floral, reminiscent of liqueurs of the past.

A blend of traditional rums aged for up to 4 years in French oak casks and tuns.
