Savanna Traditionnel L’Absolu No. 1 2023 is a special edition designed to combine the richness of the distillery's tradition with the boldness of a free and creative vision.
Born on the island of Réunion, this bottle is the result of an exclusive selection of the distillery's oldest and most original casks.
The L'Absolu project gives complete freedom to maître-assembleur Thierry Grondin, who in this case chooses Grand Arôme barrels, often aged in ex-Cognac or ex-Porto casks, to compose a blend that goes beyond the conventional.
Absolu 2023 presents an intense complexity: the nose reveals red and candied fruits, dried fruit and hazelnut, underscored by hints of port and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a rich and harmonious structure, where ripe fruit gives way to toasted wood and the sweetness of vanilla, while the long finish offers elegance and depth.
The distillery, with a long history on the island of Réunion, demonstrates with this cuvée how powerful the combination of craftsmanship and careful selection of woods can be.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
