The Rum Agricole Creol of Savanna is a refined expression of Martinique's rum tradition, produced with freshly harvested sugarcane that gives the spirit a unique freshness. This agricole rum is the result of careful distillation that preserves the aromatic characteristics of the cane juice, differentiating it from rums made from molasses. The production area, the beautiful Caribbean island of Martinique, with its volcanic terroir and tropical climate, imparts a complex and deep structure to the product. The aging takes place in oak barrels, balancing the herbaceous and fruity notes with hints of vanilla and light spices.
On the nose, the Creol reveals a vibrant combination of ripe citrus, cut grass, and subtle caramel nuances, while on the palate it expresses elegant softness, with aromas of fresh sugarcane and a pleasant spicy persistence. Ideal to enjoy neat or with a cube of ice, it is also suitable for refined cocktails that seek to enhance its complexity. Perfect for those looking for an authentic rum, capable of telling the story and the territory of the Caribbean islands through every sip.

The story
The origins of production under the Savanna name date back to the late 19th century on the Savanna estate in Saint-Paul; rhum production was reorganized in the 20th century and moved in 1992 to the Bois-Rouge site (commune of Saint-André), retaining the historic name. Since 2012 the distillery has been part of the Réunionnaise du Rhum consortium. Over time Savanna has become one of the island's principal producers, recognized for the variety of its rum styles and for exports to the European Union.
Distillation
Combined use of rectifying columns (main C20 column), the historic Savalle copper column for selected batches and pot stills for certain expressions; fermentations can be short for some white agricoles or very long for the Grand Arôme.
Ageing
Ageing in wooden barrels within local tropical chais; Savanna employs different maturation approaches, including use of ex-distillate casks and cooperages of various types, and maintains some maturation cellars close to the ocean that influence the profile of the rhums vieux.
