How does this rum taste?
Unique arrack character
Smoky earthy profile
Traditional production style
Batavia Arrak Verschnitt stands out with its pungent, earthy character and robust notes of fermented, vegetative arrack. The palate is dominated by a hot, alcoholic punch and smoky earthiness, though many find the profile overwhelmingly neutral and harsh. Best approached by those curious about traditional arrack styles—with ample caution. Worth sampling if you’re exploring the full spectrum of arrack expressions.

Da das bei mir gestern leider nicht geklappt hat mit dem Tasting' weil ich nicht bei zoom reingekommen bin' wird das jetzt nach geholt. Dieses Zeug ist mit das grausame was ich je trinken durfte. Einfach nur alkoholisch.
Once again an outstanding tasting that Artur organized superbly. Many thanks for the introduction to the world of Arra(c)ks. The blends are a real challenge for the taste buds. But I was really surprised by this BASF bottling. My deepest respect for the time and effort that is always put into it. It's a real honor to be able to attend such tastings again and again.
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. Mostly neutral alcohol, very light pineapple and a hint of mushroom. On the palate, it's the same, but with an unpleasant, medicinal aftertaste. The finish is ultra-short, and once the alcohol is gone, that medicated taste remains. To be forgotten.
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! 😊
