Savanna The Wild Island Edition N°980 – Millésime 2008

Savanna The Wild Island Edition N°980 – Millésime 2008 is a distinctive single cask rum from the iconic Savanna Distillery on Réunion Island. This limited Wild Island release showcases the unique identity of the island’s terroir and the distillery’s precise, character-driven style.

Distilled in 2008 and carefully matured to highlight both aromatic intensity and structural elegance, this Millésime expression balances vibrant freshness with layered depth. The tropical influence of Réunion brings energy and exotic complexity, while controlled ageing ensures refinement and cohesion.

Bottled as a single cask selection, this edition is presented in its purest form – without added sugar, without colouring, and without chill filtration. The result is an authentic, expressive rum that fully reflects its origin and vintage character.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep golden amber.

Nose: Elegant and aromatic from the first encounter. Bright notes of ripe pineapple, passion fruit, and mango are intertwined with citrus zest and delicate floral hints. Gradually, vanilla, toasted coconut, and light almond pastry emerge, supported by subtle oak spice and a faint mineral freshness typical of island distillation.

Palate: Precise and structured on the attack. Tropical fruit returns with intensity – grilled pineapple, apricot, and hints of banana – followed by gentle pepper, nutmeg, and refined oak tannins. A touch of salted caramel and roasted nuts adds roundness, while the spirit remains vibrant and focused throughout.

Finish: Long, clean, and harmonious. Warm oak, vanilla pod, and soft spice linger alongside a refreshing citrus lift and a subtle saline touch that enhances the island character.

Despite its expressive profile, this Millésime 2008 remains beautifully balanced, combining tropical exuberance with Savanna’s trademark precision.

Crafted for the Rum Connoisseur

Savanna The Wild Island Edition N°980 – Millésime 2008 is best enjoyed:

Neat, to appreciate its vintage depth and island complexity
With a few drops of water, to unlock additional aromatic layers and soften the spice

This release will particularly appeal to lovers of characterful island rums, vintage expressions, and collectors seeking limited single cask bottlings from Réunion.
