Hello, it’s me, the boner rum review guy, and tonight, I bring to you nothing from the 𝙚𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 varietal of rum, but something far more 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸.. what kinda high brow you ask? Art! Specifically the Savanna
Artist Edition Art of Rum by REPY! Who is Repy you ask? Well according to my very brief google research, he is a graffiti artist, from none other than La Reunion. Fascinating! And what do I, a man of great class & sophistication, think of his artwork? Well I think it’s pretty cool. Any ways, now that the tasteful bit is out of the way, let’s talk about rum baby girl 😙

Distillery: Savanna 

Proof: 114 (57% abv)

Age: 4 Years

Specs: This a rare blend of two white rums (as savanna puts it) the TRAD & AGA marque, respectively made from both traditonnel (fresh cane juice, agricultural style) & industrial/grand arome (long fermented, esterfied, pot distilled molasses) that is aged for 4 years in cellar No. 4! Cellar number four is an aging warehouse at the estate that is intentionally left more humid & dank, than other parts of the warehouse. Which is said to give the rum an environment that promotes “intense and unique” maturation.


On da nose: Cherry Cola, butterscotch, fruit punch, gym socks, chewed bubble gum. If you’re familiar with Savanna Lontan’s this has some shared characteristics but is more inviting & sweet.


Taste/mid palate: Surprisingly mild for an estery Savanna. There’s a mild sweetness about this rum, think butterscotch and slightly fermented banana milk, that gives way for a very palatable mid estor marque. Very balanced & bright, with only a hint of the brininess that you can expect with a Lontan or a TRAD.

Finish: It’s one of the lighter and more approachable savanna’s I’ve had. Well rounded. Little bit of the rotten fruit and mild esters but nothing offensive. A little brine but ultimately, a sweet, tropical medley throughout.


Conclusion: It’s fun! Definitely unique.. feels like an amalgamation of other savanna’s I’ve tried but far less abrasive and bite-y than the unshared casks or aged HERRS. Way more complex and fun than the le musts or creoles (which I have always found to be one noted).. this is a really good sipper. I’m not quite sure the nearly 200 usd price tag warrants the experience, but nonetheless I’m pleased.

Score 76.5/100
