HOT ! On Our Radar｜Holmes Cay Reunion Island Rum Traditionnel｜ Other Products

Rum Traditionnel is the aged Réunion — the first time this three-year expression from Savanna has been sold in the US. Réunion is a French island in the Indian Ocean off Madagascar, and Distillerie de Savanna is its cult distillery, a name collectors chased for years before Holmes Cay — Eric Kaye's New York independent bottler, founded in 2019 on single-cask, additive-free transparency — began importing its rums as Single Origin Editions. Where the Agricole is fresh cane juice and the Grand Arôme is high-ester molasses, the Traditionnel is the island's everyday style: molasses rum distilled on a stainless-steel column still, tropically aged three years in ex-cognac casks on Réunion, and bottled in New York State with no sugar, color, or flavoring; check your label for the ABV. Rum traditionnel is what Réunionnais actually drink — the base of the island's rhum arrangé fruit infusions — and three years in cognac wood gives it a softness the unaged editions don't have: expect a golden pour with a nose of cane, vanilla, dried fruit, and the faint grape-and-honey note of cognac oak, opening into a rounded, gently sweet palate with a savory, faintly saline edge and a tropical fruit lift, finishing warm and moderately long. Honest note: this is the approachable Réunion — lighter and more polished than the wild whites — and a fair introduction to Savanna. For a Rum Old Fashioned, a Ti' Punch vieux, a rhum arrangé of your own, or neat. Réunion's daily rum, with cognac's wood.Buy Holmes Cay Reunion Island Rum Traditionnel online with fast shipping right to your door.
