HoneyBatcher GmbH Ghana ARC
Pear, honey, and florals lead the show, with esters offering a Ghanaian twist. Some find it a bit one-dimensional, but the integration of alcohol and intensity make it a curious sipper. One to try if you enjoy young spirits with a bright fruity core.

How does this rum taste?
- Birnenbrand, aber dann ... Honig eingelegt
- frisch, blumig und süße Honignote
- Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert
The HoneyBatcher Ghana ARC has sparked quite a bit of discussion with its mix of pear, honey, and floral notes, balanced by a solid layer of esters. RumX tasters repeatedly reference a "Birnenbrand" (pear brandy) vibe and honeyed character, noting how "zunächst erst einmal Ester, Frucht und eine gewisse Süße" hits in the aroma (@Thunderbird). Some liken it to "African Fruit Bomb" and appreciate how the 67% ABV is "sehr gut eingebunden" (@Master P). Others note, "trotz der blassen Farbe recht würzig/nussig" (@DosenZorn), but a few hoped for more complexity or less wood. Funky and expressive, with a profile that has whisky and agricole fans intrigued.

"Nose: intense, floral, continental fruits, honey Palate: suprisingly round with alcohol very well integrated. Floral, fruits, milk chocolate. While this is young and powerful, I would have guessed way more than two years of aging. Well done - nice debute for the Honey Batcher."
"Very cool release. Ghana in its purest form. Very flowery & herbal. Think it's a grenade in a daiquiri. Great to see a new bottler who dares to do something. 67% and Ghana as the first release. I like it better in direct comparison than the RumClub Cudjoe. Congratulations Fabi!"
"So, today is Ghana tasting! The Honey-Batcher is the first! The nose starts with esters, fruit and a certain sweetness, which is a good start. The longer it lingers in the glass, something fresh and flowery is added and later hay! On the palate it is creamy at first, the alcohol is quite strong at the beginning, but then gives way to a fresh, floral and sweet honey note! A little vanilla also joins in! The finish is mixed with a grassy, cereal-like, woody note... Overall a good rum, somehow between Jamaica funk and young Agricole!"
"Der Holzeinfluss ist für mich hier eher störend. Könnte mehr Frucht haben und weniger Kräuter und holz. Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein. Persönlich finde ich hier diverse unaged Ghana rums spannender."
