Savanna Créol Straight Rhum Agricole Blanc (50cl, 68.7%)

A white rhum agricole from Savanna, bottled at its original distillation strength of 68.7% vol. It was made from sugar cane harvested at Bois Rouge in 2021, fermented for two days and distilled in the copper Savalle column. Before bottling in August 2022, the rum rested for nine months in tank, which is not cask ageing. The edition comprises 6,500 bottles of 50cl and carries batch number CS.11.21. The nose brings strong sugar cane with banana, pear, raspberry and yellow plum, followed by violet, menthol and camphor freshness and olive brine. The palate is plant-led, with fresh pressed cane juice, fermented notes, sweet cane fibres, pepper, steamed vegetables, green olive brine, anise, liquorice and citrus. The long finish stays plant-led with an almost resinous edge, herbs and fruity sweetness.
