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 uncrystallised mother liquor produced as a quality by product of sugar cane pressing.

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.
The Rhum Blanc Agricole Parcellaire #2 Canne d’Or 2019 from the Habitation Saint-Etienne (HSE) house embodies the excellence of the Martinican terroir.
This single-varietal rum is made exclusively from the R570 cane, nicknamed "golden cane" or "straw cane", grown on the Verger and Coulon plots of the iconic HSE distillery.
Produced from the distillation of pure sugarcane juice harvested in 2019, this white rum reveals an exceptional aromatic richness.
A blend of specially selected aged rums, the youngest being no less than 12 years old, it is a combination of the Enmore and Diamond Coffey stills and the Port Mourant double wooden pot still, blended to perfection and aged in old bourbon oak casks.
