SAVANNA - Artist Edition n°2 - Art of Rum by Yann Le Gall - 54%
The Savanna Distillery is located on Reunion Island . It was designed and built by Emile Hugot between 1948 and 1950. At the time, located in Saint Paul, it was annexed to the sugar factory of the same name. In 1982, the Savanna Distillery acquired a distillation workshop whose production was intended only for the manufacture of light rum for export, following the signing of a major rum supply contract with a German customer leader in its market. This acquisition was, for Distillerie de Savanna, the driving force behind the development of its rum technology, which multiplied, from that year on, the diversification and quality of its production. Today, the Savanna Distillery exports the majority of its rum production to professionals. Like many rum factories, the Savanna Distillery is equipped with a batch fermentation , also called a “mother tank” process, made up of 8 100 m 3 fermenters and all of its satellites. This discontinuity is synonymous with obtaining a high quality product.
This limited edition was produced by artist Yann Le Gall and 2,500 bottles were produced. Yann Le Gall is a street art and contemporary artist. His works are oriented towards nature, the ocean and waves. He works on different media: wood, metal, canvas, soft crystal, in mixed techniques. This very old traditional rum is a blend of two very old molasses rums (Trad S and Trad C20) distilled in 2015 and 2016 and an 8 year old agricultural rum distilled in 2014 . They have all been aged in old French oak ex-Cognac barrels.
