For his outbound flight to Savanna HERRLINE, Mika selected cask no. 268, a HERR rum distilled in 2009, rested in stainless steel tanks for over 5 years before being aged in a Cognac Cask from 2 January 2015, 8 years old 100% tropical, Cask Strength, 60.8% ABV, only 635 bottles, 500ml
Colour: Mahogany
Nose: Dominantly fruity (exotic), even over-ripe, with a hint of acidity characteristic of long fermentation. Notes of vanilla and spice add sweetness and complement the woodiness of the French oak. The promise of a complex, powerful tasting experience.
Palate: The tasting confirms the complexity and aromatic power of High Ester, combining gourmand harlequin flavours, sweetness, acidity and woodiness.
Finish: The beautiful power of the HERR, softened by a fruity and vanilla sweetness.
Conclusion: An original project created around the most exceptional of Savanna's distillates, the HERR, and a meeting between rum enthusiasts, the Savanna team and Mika. HERR is a one-of-a-kind High Esters rum, as rare as it is exuberant, a veritable concentrate of fruit and deliciousness, a fabulous invitation to travel to Reunion Island.
