“Absolutely solid mixing batavia arrack from Bali. Absolutely fair for 20€. Great for daiquiri etc! Only the alcohol content could be a little higher. Nice sweetness although measured unsweetened.”

“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”
