On the small French island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean, not far from Madagascar, sugarcane grows alongside volcanoes and rainforest. Here, Distillerie de Savanna crafts an entire spectrum of rum - from classic agricole to traditional molasses rum - with fermentation times ranging from just 24 hours to a full 15 days. Nothing is left to chance.

  • Bottle of Compagnie des Indes Savanna 18 Year Reunion Single Cask Rum
    Item no.: 059763-615-754

    Eighteen years in a barrel on a small volcanic island in the Indian Ocean - only 305 bottles of this French single cask rum ever left the warehouse.

    Expert description

    Compagnie des Indes 2004/2022 Savanna 18 Year is a French Single Cask Rum from the Savanna distillery on Réunion, matured in oak casks and bottled at 52.9%.

    The rum was distilled in April 2004 and bottled in September 2022 by the French independent bottler Compagnie des Indes, founded by Florent Beuchet with inspiration from the old East India trading companies. The company seeks out single casks from across the rum world and bottles them without added sugar, colouring or artificial smoothing, letting each cask show its own unfiltered character.

    The cask comes from the Savanna distillery at Bois Rouge on Réunion, a French island east of Madagascar, where both molasses rum and agricole rum from fresh cane juice are distilled. This release is non-chill filtered and has no added colouring, and only 305 bottles were drawn from the cask.

    Tasting notes

    Palate

    Powerful and full-bodied with sweet fruit, caramelised wood sugar and a warm, alcohol-driven core.

    Finish

    Long, dry and spicy with a lingering note of toasted wood.

About Savanna Rum

Distillerie de Savanna from La Réunion produces some of the most refined and exciting rum around, reflecting the current trends in the rum world. For newcomers, it's an aromatic introduction to French agricole style; for collectors, a house that uniquely masters both agricole and molasses rum side by side, aging both in everything from cognac to port casks.

History & Background

La Réunion has long had fertile ground for sugarcane production, and with it, rum production, thanks to the island's tropical climate. Distillerie de Savanna sources its raw material from the nearby Sucrerie de Bois-Rouge and produces both classic French agricole rum from sugarcane juice and traditional molasses-based rum - a combination that is relatively rare in the rum world. Yeast and fermentation time are decisive for the flavor: the molasses-based rum ferments for 24 hours, the agricole rum for 36, while the house's Grand Arôme can ferment for up to 15 days. The rum is bottled directly at the distillery, leaving nothing to chance along the way.

Production & Style

Savanna produces both molasses-based rum and rhum agricole from fresh cane juice, giving a wide range of flavor profiles.

Signature Style

Complex, Mineral, Fruity
The flavor varies by style, but shares a distinct, mineral freshness from the island's volcanic soil.
