    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.

    Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. Sweetness on the nose, herbs, apple and yellow fruit. The influence of the sweet wines used for finishing is also evident. The attack is soft on the palate, with yellow fruit and sour apple. The finish is long, slightly bitter and woody, still with yellow fruits. A very special arrack because of its finish.

    Wonderfully delicious Batavia Arrack with a sweet wine finish. Candied fruit, mandarin and passion fruit, roasted nuts, eucalyptus, saffron, red pepper and burnt caramel. Very pleasant to drink and very fairly priced. Highly recommended!

    Leider das Finish nicht gut ausgenutzt. Etwas runder noch, dann hätten wir eine evtl eine 80er Bewertung gesehen.
