Rum Grand Arôme Lontan by Savanna is born in the splendid region of Réunion, a French island in the heart of the Indian Ocean, where the volcanic terroir contributes to a unique and complex character. This rum is an authentic expression of the local tradition, obtained from the prolonged fermentation of sugarcane juice, rich in intense aromas and flavors.
On the nose, it opens with vibrant notes of vanilla, sweet spices, and a surprising minerality, a sign of the rich and fertile soil from which it comes. The palate reveals an extraordinary structure, with hints of molasses, ripe fruit, and a touch of smokiness that creates balance and depth. Aging in French oak barrels enhances the complexity, giving the rum a warm and enveloping persistence.
The Rum Grand Arôme Lontan is ideal for those who love a spirit rich in nuances, perfect both neat and as a sophisticated base for classic cocktails like the Ti’ Punch. An excellence of the Reunion denomination that brings to the glass the passion and identity of a distant territory, yet surprisingly close to the senses.

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.
