Destillerie Dr. Rauch Feiner Batavia Arrac Verschnitt

Mild, thin, mostly neutral—whispers of fruit and arrack.

Surprisingly mild
Hardly burns at all
Hint of arrack
RumX community voice

The RumX crowd finds this Batavia Arrac Verschnitt extremely neutral, bordering on flavourless, with only sparse, fleeting fruit notes. One to try if you’re curious about subdued, dilutive spirits more than traditional rums.

    How does this rum taste?

    Feiner Batavia Arrac Verschnitt leans heavily into the neutral, with RumX members calling out its "neutral alcohol" base and echoing a sense of diluted, muted flavours. Many report a nose dominated by ethanol, with occasional flashes of "pear eau de vie" (@Artur Schönhütte) and a faint arrack undertone. On the palate, it's described as very light and almost watery, with one user said it "burns hardly at all and doesn't taste really disgusting" (Franzi), but few found much else to remark on. This bottle is consistently discussed as closer to vodka or bio-ethanol than a vibrant sipping spirit.

    Komme irgendwie nicht in dieses Meeting rein. Ist anscheinend so. Gucken wir mal. Schade wäre nämlich echt gerne dabei gewesen. So muss ich die Arracks alleine trinken. Bin wirklich traurig darüber nicht dabei gewesen zu sein :-(

    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 d'Artur. A nose of neutral alcohol (ethanol) and very few aromas otherwise. Verschnitt is 90% neutral alcohol. The palate is highly diluted and even the alcohol struggles to emerge. Extremely light, faint aromas, a little pear brandy and a little pineapple. An alcohol reminiscent of vodka. Very short finish. An uninteresting alcohol-diluted spirit.

    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! 😊
