SAVANNA - Grand Arôme Lontan 57.5 - Batch L.03.21 - 57.5%
The Savanna Distillery is located on Reunion Island . It was designed and built by Emile Hugot between 1948 and 1950. At the time, located in Saint Paul, it was annexed to the sugar factory of the same name. In 1982, the Savanna Distillery acquired a distillation workshop whose production was intended only for the manufacture of light rum for export, following the signing of a major rum supply contract with a German customer leader in its market. This acquisition was, for Distillerie de Savanna, the driving force behind the development of its rum technology, which multiplied, from that year on, the diversification and quality of its production. Today, the Savanna Distillery exports the majority of its rum production to professionals. Like many rum factories, the Savanna Distillery is equipped with a batch fermentation , also called a “mother tank” process, made up of 8 100 m 3 fermenters and all of its satellites. This discontinuity is synonymous with obtaining a high quality product.
Lontan 57.5 Rum comes from the fermentation of Bois Rouge type sugar cane molasses , fermented for a long time for 6 days and distilled in a copper column. It has an ester content of 701 g/hLPA.
