Savanna Art Of Rum By Xandro 2026

Savanna on Réunion runs several distinct families of rum, and this Art Of Rum release, a collaboration with Xandro, lands on its playful, fruity side. Bottled at 57%, it is characterful without being difficult, an easy going but expressive sipper rather than a heavyweight, and one of the more crowd pleasing entries in the series.

The house works across cane juice, molasses and high ester grand arôme, and this tastes like a marriage that keeps a hint of that funkier lineage while staying bright. The nose is sweet with tropical fruit, wood and a clear strawberry lift, the palate runs strawberry and tropical fruit over light wood spice, and the finish adds a salty, briny edge to the strawberry and oak. The result is a fun, integrated neat pour for anyone who enjoys Savanna's fruity register with the strawberry dialled up.
