SAVANNA - White Rum - Créol 52 - Cannes Bois Rouges - Batch No. 5 - Bottled 2021 - 52%
The Savanna Distillery is located in the heart of Réunion Island, a region globally renowned for the exceptional quality of its agricultural rums. Founded between 1948 and 1950 by the visionary Emile Hugot, this historic distillery is situated in Saint-Paul, where it was originally associated with the eponymous sugar factory. In 1982, the Savanna Distillery strengthened its expertise by acquiring a workshop specialized in the distillation of light rum primarily intended for export. This strategy was in response to a major contract concluded with a leading German player in the global rum market.
This acquisition marked a true technological turning point for the Savanna Distillery, driving remarkable diversification and continuously improved quality of its products from this key period onward. Today, the Savanna Distillery is unanimously recognized as a leader in the export of exceptional rums, distributed to demanding professionals internationally.
Like many renowned rum producers, the Savanna Distillery uses a traditional batch fermentation process, also called the "mother vat" method, which relies on 8 fermenters each with a capacity of 100 m3, complemented by a network of satellite fermenters. This artisanal method ensures controlled fermentation, essential for obtaining a superior quality white rum, rich in unique aromas and gustatory complexity.
The Savanna Créol is made from Cannes Bois-Rouge sugarcane carefully harvested in 2019, guaranteeing the freshness and authenticity of the Réunion terroir. The traditional, intense, and controlled fermentation lasts 2 days, followed by meticulous distillation carried out in a copper column, a traditional material that enhances the rum's characteristics. This method results in a final product of remarkable purity and incomparable aromatic expression. No fewer than 1,400 bottles of this precious white rum were carefully bottled in 2021.
