Vagabond Spirits Silva Collection SVN 2003/2025 With Box 61.3% 50cl

Estimated shipping date: 25 May 2026

This monumental release from the Silva Collection is a rare bridge between two worlds of rum excellence. It is far more than a high-proof spirit – it is a striking fusion of nearly two decades of aging, expert finishing, and the raw power of Réunion Island. Distilled in 2003 at the legendary Savanna Distillery in Saint-André, this expression has been nurtured for over 21 years to become a true collector’s masterpiece.

Produced in an ultra-limited run of only 240 bottles, this edition stands as a unique opportunity for enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of Savanna’s craftsmanship. By marrying the soul of Réunion with a finish in an ex-Trinidad cask, this rum represents a bold combination of tradition and innovative maturation.

A Journey of Time and Cask

Every bottle in the Silva Collection embodies the patience of long-term aging. This Savanna 2003 underwent a sophisticated maturation process that defines its deep character:

  • 16 Years Tropical Aging: Resting in the intense volcanic climate of Réunion Island to develop its concentrated core.

  • 5.5 Years Continental Aging: Refined in Europe in ex-bourbon casks for elegance and structure.

  • 4-Month Finish: A final touch in an ex-Trinidad 2008 cask, adding a legendary "heavy" dimension to the Savanna identity.

Tasting Experience

Inside the bottle lies a dense, empyreumatic profile designed for lovers of thick, heavy molasses rums and the distinctive "Savanna funk."

  • Nose: A greeting for fans of the "bold and heavy." It opens with deep empyreumatic aromas, stewed yellow fruits, and caramelized gratin, freshened by menthol and eucalyptus. Notes of beeswax and damp autumn forest floor are layered with fresh green apples. With time, it blossoms into a basket of ripe apricots, peaches, and overripe mango.

  • Palate: "Release the beast." This nectar is greasy, creamy, and round. While the alcohol is pronounced, it is deliciously integrated. Powerful notes of brine and black Greek olives collide with charcoal leather and persistent wood that caresses the palate.

  • Finish: Exceptionally long and oily. The ex-Trinidad finish reveals itself through notes of tar and thick molasses. It is the ultimate twist: the soul of Savanna meeting the industrial power of Trinidad.
