Ice cream floats inspire sweet feelings of nostalgia and when they’re spiked with booze, they make us downright giddy! Savanna Dry, the well-loved South African cider, once introduced a unique variant called Savanna Blackbeard, prior to Savanna Dark.
The limited edition cider, produced by Distell, showcased a distinctive flavor reminiscent of rum and raisin ice cream on the nose and palate. Tasting notes of Savanna Blackbeard claimed the cider to be infused with the sweet flavours of rum, surprising the palate with hints of raisins, spices and fermented honey.
Sadly, Savanna Blackbeard was discontinued back in 2019.
Thankfully, the Distell brand continues to produce the driest and tastiest cider of them all, in my opinion, SAVANNA DRY!
