Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#515) of Savanna HERR (High Ester Reunion Rum) rum distilled in 2006, aged in cognac casks and bottled in 2020 by Velier as part of the Japoniani range. Velier was founded in Genoa by Casimir Chaix in 1947. It was originally a small, family-run business specializing in the import and distribution of wine and spirits. Luca Gargano, a former representative for Saint James and serious rum collector and enthusiast, bought the business in 1986 and began bottling whisky first in 1992 and then rum in 1996. It was in 1996 that Gargano bottled his first Demerara rums. In 2004, Gargano was invited to Guyana to select casks by his friend Yesu Persaud, then the CEO of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL). This partnership ended in 2015 when Persaud retired, but the rums bottled in the meantime became legendary. The same can be said for the Caroni casks he bought in 2005, two years after the distillery closed, following a visit to Trinidad with Fredi Marcarini the previous year to take photos. These two lines of bottlings built the renown of Velier, today also known for its work in other parts of the Caribbean, such as Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti and Marie-Galante. Rums selected by Velier are only ever aged in a tropical climate, which explains both their concentration and the high angels’ share. They are generally bottled at cask strength or just below. A limited edition of 262 bottles.

The distillery Savanna

Réunion Island. Distillery operational.

Built on the Bois-Rouge site in Saint-André in August 1992, near the eponymous sugar refinery whose cane sugar and molasses it uses to produce its rums, Savanna is a distillery with “open walls” overlooking the Indian Ocean. From the historic site of Saint-Paul, the distillery has kept a magnificent copper Savalle still, which it uses together with several stainless steel column stills and a pot still to produce a multitude of rums, including its Grand Arôme, whose fermentation lasts almost 15 days. When it comes to both its rhum agricole (cane juice) and its traditional rum (molasses), Savanna is one of few distilleries in the world to offer such a wide palette of aromas, recently honoured by various independent bottlers in releases such as Velier's Savanna 1999 Villa Paradisetto.
