Savannah Spirits Silver Rum
Savannah Spirits Silver Rum
Savannah Spirits is part of an endeavor that will be launched during 2018. Located in Savannah, Georgia the Distillery will share space with a chop house that serves steaks and seafood. To get their rum launched and in the market place the Savannah Spirits Company collaborated with a distillery in Charleston, South Carolina.
Appearance
This 80 proof rum comes in a tall 750ml bottle with the label providing the minimum information required by law. The bottle’s plastic cork is secured to the bottle with wax. The liquid is clear in the bottle and glass and agitating the liquid creates a thin line that quickly thickens and drops fast moving legs.
Nose
The aroma of the rum provides notes of vanilla, molasses and a touch of butterscotch before the raw alcohol vapors take over and dominate the profile.
Palate
Sipping the rum reveals notes of vanilla, salt, charcoal, raw coconut, butterscotch and a bit of ethyl-alcohol rounding it out at the finish.
Review
When reviewing un-aged rums my expectations are heavily managed and I not only look for what the distillery has created, but how it can be used. I was surprised by some of the mineral notes I discovered in the flavor profile and thought this product would be useful in basic rum cocktails.
They noted on their website that their distillery will be online sometime in 2018. I will be curious to see how their product changes with the new location, still and water source.

Paul Senft Rum Judging
My name is Paul Senft - Rum Reviewer, Tasting host, Judge and Writer. My exploration of Rums began by learning to craft Tiki cocktails for friends. I quickly learned that not all rums are created equally and that the uniqueness of the spirit can be as varied as the locales they are from. This inspired me to travel with my wife around the Caribbean, Central America, and United States visiting distilleries and learning about how each one creates their rums. I have also had the pleasure of learning from bar tenders, brand ambassadors, and other enthusiasts from around the world; each one providing their own unique point of view, adding another chapter to the modern story of rum. The desire to share this information led me to create www.RumJourney.com where I share my experiences and reviews in the hopes that I would inspire others in their own explorations. It is my wish in the pages of “Got Rum?” to be your host and provide you with my impressions of rums available in the world market. Hopefully my tasting notes will inspire you to tr y the rums and make your own opinions. The world is full of good rums and the journey is always best experienced with others.
