SAVANNA HERR

Savanna HERR rum stands out as a unique and highly prized expression from the Savanna distillery on Reunion Island. 

HERR is an acronym coined by Savanna itself, meaning "High Ester Rum Reunion." This immediately signals its defining characteristic: an exceptionally high concentration of esters, which contribute to intense fruity and funky aromas.

Unlike some of Savanna's other offerings, HERR is produced from molasses (sourced from the Bois Rouge sugar factory) and is double distilled in a pot still, a method that captures more aromatic compounds.

The production involves a uniquely long fermentation process (typically 5-11 days) and utilizes specific bacterial cultures, added to the molasses wash (often with vinasse), to cultivate the high ester profile.

HERR rums are known for their incredibly intense and often "funky" flavor profiles, frequently featuring notes of overripe tropical fruits (pineapple, papaya), bubblegum, olives, and sometimes savory or even slightly medicinal undertones.

Sought after by rum enthusiasts and collectors for its distinctive character, Habitation Velier Savanna HERR is bottled unaged at a high proof of 62% abv.
