SAVANNA - Lontan Straight - 74.9%
The Savanna Distillery is a key reference located on the island of Réunion, a jewel in the heart of the Indian Ocean. Founded and designed by the visionary Emile Hugot between 1948 and 1950, this distillery is based in Saint-Paul, where it was initially annexed to the sugar factory of the same name. In 1982, the Savanna Distillery marked a major turning point by acquiring a distillation workshop dedicated exclusively to the production of light rum intended for export, following a strategic agreement with a major German player in the European market. This acquisition was the catalyst for the technological development of the distillery, significantly increasing the diversification and exceptional quality of its rums. Today, the Savanna Distillery is proud to export the majority of its premium rums to demanding professionals around the world. Like many artisanal rum producers, it uses a method of discontinuous fermentation called "mother tank" fermentation, comprising 8 fermenters of 100 m3<\/sup> and their satellite equipment. This unique process guarantees the production of rums with great aromatic and organoleptic quality.
The Lontan Straight Rum is made from a slow and controlled fermentation of cane sugar molasses from the Bois Rouge variety, fermented for 8 days to develop an intense aromatic richness. This rum is then distilled in a traditional copper column, ensuring optimal extraction of flavors and remarkable purity. With a high ester content of 784.6 g\/hLPA, it offers a complex and powerful aromatic profile, characteristic of the best agricultural rums of the Indian Ocean.
