More questions
The Rum Intense 70cl by Savanna is a distillate that encapsulates the volcanic essence of the island of La Réunion, a unique territory in the heart of the Indian Ocean. This agricole rum is produced exclusively with fresh sugarcane juice, grown on the fertile volcanic slopes, giving the product a distinctive and unmistakable character.
The distillation takes place using a traditional method in column and water bath stills, allowing the aromatic intensity and olfactory complexity to be preserved. Aging in oak barrels helps to provide a balance between sweet notes of vanilla, delicate spices, and a subtle minerality reminiscent of the volcanic soil from which it originates. On the palate, a full-bodied, warm structure emerges with a persistence that reflects the richness of the raw material.
Ideal for rum enthusiasts seeking an intense and profound experience, the Rum Intense by Savanna pairs perfectly with aromatic cigars or sophisticated cocktails such as the “Dark and Stormy,” thus enhancing the versatility of this excellent product. An authentic sensory journey through the terroir of La Réunion.

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.
