savorer

One who relishes

A savorer is someone who savors—who takes deliberate pleasure in experiencing something fully rather than rushing through it.

The word applies equally to physical pleasures like food and wine or to abstract ones like moments of triumph: As a savorer of fine whiskey, he let each sip linger.
