This Indonesian rum is molasses based and distilled in pot stills. During the fermentation they use some red rice in the yeast. After distillation it’s aged in teak barrels before transported to the Netherlands where it’s transferred to oak barrels. The final blend consists of rum aged 8 months, 3, 5 and 8 years. The finish is medium long mostly depending on the alcohol content. I was expecting a lot more flavor of arrack and overall I think that everything is much too weak to catch my interest.

This rum smells as if it were better not to drink. A very chemical component accompanied by honey and fruit. It is best to let it breathe for some time. With some overcoming in the mouth, then much better with a dry, spicy, smoky and slightly fruity experience. Some similarity to Jamaica rum is there, but convince this rum can not.

Sicher ein guter Mixer für frische, leichte Sommerdrinks – ansonsten eher flach und schwach.

in the barrel-aged arrack range definitely a super product and a nice example of how smooth and damn dry arrack can be, but just nothing for everyone.... I like it very much in Ruby Punch, Mai Tai and Corn'n'oil and as a surprise for people who do not know Batavia arrack.

Au nez très mielleux, un petit côté riz cuit, un peu végétal, fruit tropicaux. Très agréable et doux. En bouche on a étrangement un côté très anisé, un peu pimenté. Le végétal est présent sans trop ce faire remarquer. Ce qui me dérange c’est le côté alcool quand même fort présent pour ma part. Bon sans plus, une belle découverte quand même.

Troppo forte e sbilanciato, senza aromi o note piacevoli se non lontane anni luce

Nez sympa sur les fruit très mur ( banane poire ) un peu d'ester et une légère saumure. Malheureusement en bouche il ne se passe grand chose l'alcool est très présent ( trop ) un léger boisé et quelques note végétal mais plutôt plat dans l'ensemble. Longueur moyenne.

Ich denke beim Geruch als erstes an einen Whisky (bin kein Whiskytrinker, habe einige probiert aber liegt mir nicht). So erdig, rauchig und würzig, eigentlich nicht so meins. Aufgrund der 48% halt auch nicht so tief im Geschmack, der Abgang hält aber erstaunlich lange an. Für den Preis von 40 Euro absolut OK in meinen Augen, da gibts definitiv viel schlechteres wofür mehr verlangt wird. Mal schauen wie viel ich pur trinke und wie viel in Cocktails landet.

Lösungsmittel mit leicht undefinierter Würze nach Harz. Flach im Geschmack, dennoch mild für 46*. Wenig Ausgeprägte Noten. Abgangs kurz und sprittig.
