By The Dutch Batavia Arrack
Community sees it as original, dry and smoky with overripe fruit, but also thin, sharp and somewhat chemical. Overall consensus: decent mixer and introduction to Batavia arrack, rarely a sipping favorite.
Cocktail enthusiasts and rum geeks who enjoy drier, slightly smoky spirits and want an affordable gateway into Batavia arrack for punches, Tiki drinks and experimental mixed drinks.

How does this rum taste?
Quirky dry arrack, better for cocktails
If you like playing with funky components in Mai Tais or punch, this is worth a spot on the bar; if you mostly sip neat, there are more rewarding options.
Those seeking an easy, sweet sipper or sensitive to alcohol sharpness; also not ideal for drinkers who dislike whisky‑like grain or smoky notes in their rum.

definitely a great product in the barrel-aged arrack range and a nice example of how smooth and damn dry arrack can be, but also not for everyone... I like it very much in Ruby Punch, Mai Tai and Corn'n'oil and as a surprise for people who don't know Batavia arrack. I especially like making rum penicillin cocktails with it!
Auto-translatedBlindverkostung: eine aromatische Nase: süß, grasig, frisch, fruchtig – Anklänge von Weißwein und Getreide. Am Gaumen auch sehr fruchtig und auch eher die exotischen Früchte: Maracuja und Papaya, eine leichte aber präsente alkoholische Schärfe, die aber etwas verwässert schmeckt. Ich würde hier einen Rum aus frischem Zuckerrohrsaft aus einer Pot Still vermuten, würde dafür aber nicht meine Hand ins Feuer legen, da ich mich in diesem Bereich nicht allzu gut auskenne. Er ist aufjedenfall aromtaisch-schwer, auf der anderen Seite aber für mich noch etwas jung. Ein paar weitere Jahre im Fass hätten ihm mit Sicherheit gestanden. Der Abgang ist länger als vermutet und sehr würzig/kräuterig mit etwas Anis. Ich tippe hier auf einen jungen Rum aus Haiti mit ungefähr 50%. 76 Punkte
Je met cette note car originale ( un peu "tourbé" type whisky ) met pas de la a achete une bouteille
