Savanna Traditionel Intense 41.3 Blanc

Savanna on Réunion runs several families of rum, and this Traditionel Intense Blanc is its molasses side rather than its cane juice agricole, an unaged white that leans fresh and fruity instead of funky. Bottled at a gentle 41.3%, it is squarely a mixing rum, made to be a versatile base rather than a powerhouse neat pour.

Distilled from molasses and bottled clear without oak, it keeps a clean, bright profile with just a whisper of the solvent lift you find across the Savanna stable. The nose runs banana, light solvents, fresh florals, the palate carries banana, mango and more floral fruit, and the finish stays light, citrussy and thin. It comes into its own in a highball or a tropical cocktail, where its subtle fruit and low strength make it an easy, refreshing workhorse.
