Bapt & Clem’s 12 Year Old Reunion From Savanna Distillery Island Rhum

Rum: Bapt & Clem’s 12 Year Old Reunion From Savanna Distillery Island Rhum

Pretty tan color with more sustained reflections. The very particular aging of Savanna brings incredible complexity and typicity to the nose: cooked fruit (baked apple), praline, cigar box, dried flowers, beeswax. After a few minutes, heavier aromas of gingerbread, menthol (almost medical) and honey complete this palette so rich in aromas. On the palate, the attack is supple, the tannins are rich and round, the finish slightly spicy (green pepper, sweet pepper). A pure marvel of finesse.

Distillery: Savanna Distillery

The exceptional Savanna distillery has been notably unavailable on the American market despite accolades from across the rest of the world. The small distillery on the Island of Runion is probably one of the most exciting things you can’t get in this country. It’s unique in that it’s operated similar to the Agricole distilleries of the Caribbean, but distills rhums from both fresh cane and molasses. In this case the rhum was distilled from molasses supplied by the Bois-Rouge refinery on the island, so it’s truly an exercise in rhum terroir. The rhum is distilled in an alembic column still like an Agricole Rhum and aged in the chai on site for 12 years in used ex-Cognac barrels. Marc was lucky to get the keys to the warehouse and selected this special lot of barrels for his new line of spirits. This is the first rum from Runion that we’ve ever sold and hopefully not the last.
