    Absolut solider mixing batavia arrack aus Bali. Für 20€ absolut fair bepreist und außerordentlich hochwertig im Vergleich zu anderen 20€ rums. Top für daiquiri, Mojito etc! Nur der Alkoholgehalt könnte etwas höher sein. Schöne süße obwohl nachgemessen definitiv ungezuckert.

    Considering the price, a decent product and aromatically superior to the bar standards from Puerto Rico and Cuba and I would always prefer the Nusa Caña. It goes very well in a mojito, for example.

    Fruity fruit, fresh and arracky. A lot going on here on the nose, as you would expect from Arrack. A little smoked bacon is also present. Surprisingly sweet on the palate, although unsweetened. Not expected but very fitting. Then very fresh, grassy and with the typical estery Arrack aromas. However, it somehow lacks tinder and pressure in terms of alcohol content. We'll see how it mixes, but I'm afraid it will be a little too flat. I'll update accordingly here. Addendum 1: Unfortunately, there is not much of the bacony arrack notes in the spiced version. Addendum 2: Super fruity in the mojito, harmonizes well with the mint

    On the nose ripe tropical fruit, flowers, spices, eucalyptus and a sour note on the finish. On the palate fruit(banana?) and dry spices, but without depth or character.
