Joh. Eggers Sohn & Co. Eggers Batavia Arrac Verschnitt
Smoky vanilla nose, but alcohol-forward and faint on palate.
The aroma shows promise with vanilla, smoke, and subtle fruits, but the taste leans heavily towards alcohol and metallic notes, with little of the nose’s complexity remaining. Reviews from RumX tasters are consistently underwhelmed—suggesting it’s mainly for the most adventurous palate.

Even though Eggers is a big name, alas that did not save them. A nice nose of typical and some sweet arrac profile. T But then on the palate it looses you completely. An underwhelming Punsch and nothing to be bought
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! 😊
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. A spicy nose with pepper, smoke and tropical fruit, but also a buttery sweetness. The palate is diluted and the alcohol is present. Sour apple, wood, smoke and very few aromas. The finish is short, marked by neutral alcohol. This arrack has the best nose of the first 4, but the palate is very weak, very close to neutral alcohol.
Einer noch dann reicht es auch für heute. Dieser Arrack ist auch nicht besonders toll. Auch wieder sehr alkoholisch und stechenden. In der Nase kann ich noch etwas Vanille erkennen. Am Gaumen noch recht metallisch.
