Savanna 6 Years Cognac Cask #1037 – 64%

The Savanna Distillery is located on the shores of the Indian Ocean, at the foot of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. Rum has been handcrafted here since the 19th century in La Réunion, a French overseas department and a sugarcane paradise. However, the distillery and its exquisite bottlings as we know them today trace their origins back to Émile Hugot. Internationally known as “Monsieur Sucre,” he led Savanna into the future starting in the 1950s, drawing on his extensive expertise in sugar.

At the heart of Savanna lies high-quality rhum agricole, rhum traditionnel, and Grand Arôme rum—which the distillery is one of the few in the world to produce. The full-bodied molasses rum undergoes extensive fermentation and develops a high ester content, similar to typical Jamaican rums. Unusually for distilleries in France’s overseas departments, Savanna processes both fresh sugarcane juice and molasses in column and pot stills—but only between July and November.

Free of any additives and unfiltered at cold temperatures, Savanna Rums reveal multifaceted, authentic flavors that reflect the island’s wild beauty.
