Dirty, smokey and intensive. Plastic and solvent notes. Wired and interesting stuff.
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.
Arrack 2.0 @Artur: In der Nase fruchtig, Himbeere. Am Gaumen Krasse Rauchnoten, wie geräuchert, kein Torf, Alkohol gut eingebunden.
This one stays with you. A very extrem Kombination of burned rubber and burned plastik. Chemical and overripe. But it still hast something going for it. In a drink this was very bad. This is a sipper to be thought about
