    Very good real and authentic Batavia arrack. Mega board in the daiquiri & arrackiri! Absolutely on a par with the one from by the Dutch, if not a tad better. Unfortunately only available in Switzerland at Labat in Zurich! Really nice product. PS: be sure to order arrack drinks in the embury bar in Frankfurt!

    Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. Du beurre et du vinaigre au nez, feschester doux, de la fraîcheur végétale et des herbes sèches. Un nez assez contrasté. La bouche est un peu heurtée avec du végétal frais, de la douceur et des esters. La finale est assez longue mais un peu amère et piquante mais les fruits frais sont là avec du thé noir et des tanins. Un arrack qui ressemble à un Clairin, par exemple Sajous ?

    Wieder einmal ein überragendes Tasting das Artur super organisiert hat. Vielen Dank in die Einführung in die Welt des Arra(c)ks. Die Verschnitte sind schon eine wahre Herausforderung an die Geschmacksnerven. Wirklich überrascht hat mich aber diese BASF Abfüllung. Meinen tiefsten Respekt für die Zeit und Mühe die dort immer wieder reingesteckt wird. Eine wirkliche Ehre immer wieder bei solchen Tastings dabei sein zu dürfen.

    Arrac(k)-Tasting 2.0 von Artur. Eine spannende Tasting-Reise mit einer beeindruckenden Bandbreite an Stilen und Profilen. Von rauchig über fruchtig bis würzig war alles vertreten – teils etwas unausgewogen, teils überraschend rund. Besonders einige Abfüllungen zeigten viel Charakter und Tiefe und blieben im Gedächtnis. Ein Format, das richtig Spaß macht. Danke Artur für die Gelegenheit! 😊
