On the shores of the Indian Ocean, at the foot of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, the Savanna distillery is at home. Rum has been produced by hand here in the French overseas department and sugar cane paradise of La R\u00e9union since the 19th century. However, the distillery and its exquisite bottlings as we know them today go back to \u00c9mile Hugot. Internationally known as “Monsieur Sucre”, he led Savanna into the future from the 1950s onwards with extensive expertise in the field of sugar.<\/p>\n
At the heart of Savanna is high quality Rhum Agricole, Rhum traditionnel and Grand Ar\u00f4me Rum, which the distillery is one of the few in the world to produce. The full-bodied molasses rum ferments extensively and develops a high ester content, similar to typical Jamaican rums. Unusually for distilleries in the French overseas departments, Savanna processes both fresh sugar cane juice and molasses in column and pot still – and only between July and November.<\/p>\n
Free of any additives and not chill-filtered, Savanna rums reveal multi-faceted, authentic flavours that bear witness to the wild beauty of the island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
