How does this rum taste?
Intense tropical fruit and cream toffee lead the experience in this bold, high-proof Batavia Arrak, surprising RumX tasters with integrated woody, nutty, and olive notes. Many compare this unique bottling to high-ester Savanna rums for its fruity complexity and silky mouthfeel, all at excellent value. Worth discovering if you seek a complex, characterful sipper.

Definitely my absolute highlight in arrak so far. A high ester bomb that changes from Savanna to haribi tropifruti to something completely of its own. What an amazing drink this made. I am sad I don't own a carton of this
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. A very fruity nose with yellow fruit (apple), cashew nuts, strawberry candy and very well-integrated wood. Yellow fruit on the palate with toffee, discreet wood, olive, red fruit and yogurt. The finish is rather long, with yellow fruit and wood. The wood lingers for a very long time. A very original bottle with a beautiful label and you can't help but think of a Grand Arôme de Savanna here. My favorite so far!
Wow, Savanna goes Indonesia! Unerwartete Intensität mit Erdbeeren, tropischen Früchten und Milchsäure. Cremig & Funky, langes Finish. Super! Arra(c)k Attack 2.0 Tasting mit Artur einmal quer durch, von richtig fiesem Verschnitt bis zu erstaunlich guten Vertretern alles dabei. Tolle Reise zu dieser mir bis dato komplett unbekannten Spirituose.
Abgefahren was die BASF (bzw. deren Weinkeller) hier in die Flasche gebracht hat!😄 Erinnert stark an savanna oder le galion grand Arome mit diesen intensiven Erdbeer, menthol wick bonbon, olive und Toffee Sahnebonbon Noten. Geschmacklich mit 60% sehr rund und angenehm zu trinken und für 20€ die Flasche ohnehin ein Witz. An Batavia Arrack erinnert er aber so gar nicht?!😄
