Hi RumX community, I’ve wanted to write this for a while. Not sure I’ll nail it. But here goes. 2018. My apartment in Stuttgart. Late nights programming after my day job. I built a little app called Rum Tasting Notes. No plan. Just the idea that rum lovers deserve a place to share honest opinions. I never imagined this would lead to where we are today. Savanna, one of my favorite rum producers, has agreed to dedicate one of their finest casks to this community. To you. Let me tell you how this happened. **The first sip** July 2024. [Restaurant Blanc, Paris](https://rumx.com/en/blog/discover-the-world-of-savanna/?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum). Savanna poured an early cask sample. I took a sip and went quiet. 17 years in the tropics. Rich. Complex. Perfectly balanced. The kind of rum that just stops you. I couldn’t let it go. Months of going back to the Savanna team. Asking. Pushing. Probably being a pain. Samuel, if you’re reading this, sorry. And thank you. 👨‍❤️‍👨 But it wasn’t just me. **It was you** The [Savanna Masterclass](https://community.rumx.com/t/discover-the-world-of-high-ester-and-win-a-savanna-tasting-set/17187/). Many of you tasted the sample. The reaction blew me away. Your notes. Your excitement. Your conviction that this cask is something special. That’s what convinced Savanna. Not me. You. They saw a community that doesn’t just drink rum, it understands rum. And they decided this cask belongs in your hands. I’m not exaggerating when I say: this bottle exists because you willed it into being. **The release** - 17 years, full tropical aging in Réunion Island - Savalle column, Grand Arôme (664.6 g/hlap) - Double cask: ex-Cognac, then ex-Armagnac - 68.7% cask strength - 445 bottles worldwide - Exclusively on RumX. April 18th. → **[ALL INFOS ON OUR WEBSITE](https://rumx.com/en/savanna-grand-arome-17-year-single-cask/?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum)** At Whisky Live Paris 2025 we did a surprise tasting. The community scored it **9.0 out of 10**. Top 2% of all rums on RumX. One of only 11 Savanna bottlings to ever hit that mark. **Release dates** - **April 17th:** RX+ early access (24h head start) - **April 18th:** General release Hit **[Notify Me](https://rumx.com/en/savanna-grand-arome-17-year-single-cask/?utm_source=rumx&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=rumx-forum)**, to get updates on the release and a message as soon the bottles are live. 🚀 **One more thing** This is the most meaningful thing I’ve done since starting RumX. A community built on honesty and shared curiosity just achieved something no marketing budget could buy. Savanna gave it to us because they saw something real. You are my RumX family. Every review. Every note. Every friend you brought here. It all led to this. Thank you. Seriously. Now let’s celebrate the release on 18th April and enjoy this extraordinary cask just for us. ❤🥃 ![oli_savanna](https://community.rumx.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/6/a67a4c2fa6486ad4a59a1d43c386a1fc66947911.jpeg) ---

I was thinking Foursquare, Hampden or maybe a Mhoba release? With all the knowledge of RumX it can only be a worldclass rum 🔥 ---

Bin geflashed das das Ding wohl tatsächlich knapp 2 Jahre später in trockenen Tüchern ist und hier bald in der Flasche zu bekommen sein wird. Chapeau @Oliver für’s dran bleiben!

Schön das es geklappt hat, danke für die Mühen. Aber mich würde ganz ehrlich interessieren wo der Preislich ungefähr liegt ---

Bei 0,5L hätte ich das auch geschätzt, denke aber ist 0,7L in dem Fall da rechne ich eher mit ~400€ ---
