    Wow again, this time really blowing my mind. A nice melange of butterscotch, iodine, peach and some rubber tire. All very well balanced and a very strong drink, like a st. Lucia daiquiri. I really love this one

    So muss Batavia Arrack schmecken. Grüne Paprika, Safran, Rosenblüten, Orangenblüten, gebrannter Zucker, überreife Papaya, Mandarinenschale und Bitterorange, Weihrauch und ein generell sehr angenehmes sehr intensives, komplexes und öliges Mundprofil!

    Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. A rum nose at last! Lively, lemony, with a hint of sweetness (cookies) and candy. Varnished wood. The entry is intense with yellow fruit, apple, lemon zest, overripe fruit, saffron and iodine. The finish is moderately long, with woody bitterness. The saffron and spices are more pronounced. At last, a rum-like arrack.

    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! 😊
