Anton Riemerschmid Arrak Verschnitt
Solvent, vinegar and a sharp metallic bite are what most people walk away with here. There's a sweet, syrupy sugarcane note underneath, but the alcohol and chemical edge bury it fast. One member called it a "petrochemical accident dripping into a bottle," and the scores back that up. The finish is short, medicinal and harsh. An Indonesian arrak-style blend that very few enjoy neat.
- Faint sweet sugarcane
- Curiosity for arrak fans
- Some fruity nose

How does Anton Riemerschmid Arrak Verschnitt taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Harsh, metallic, chemical arrak blend Almost universally disliked. Tasters report a sharp, metallic, chemical profile with vinegar and solvent notes that drown out any sweetness. The rough finish seals the low scores.

Review by Johannes
Arrack 2.0 @Artur: Etwas mehr Körper, chemisch, metallisch.
Review by Timo Groeger
I'm still sorry that it didn't work out for me with the tasting :-( This one is already very hard. It is predominantly alcoholic, very metallic and chemical, solvents are recognizable.
Review by zabo
Wieder einmal ein überragendes Tasting das Artur super organisiert hat. Vielen Dank in die Einführung in die Welt des Arra(c)ks. Die Verschnitte sind schon eine wahre Herausforderung an die Geschmacksnerven. Wirklich überrascht hat mich aber diese BASF Abfüllung. Meinen tiefsten Respekt für die Zeit und Mühe die dort immer wieder reingesteckt wird. Eine wirkliche Ehre immer wieder bei solchen Tastings dabei sein zu dürfen.
Review by Mirco
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! 😊
Review by cigares
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. A more expressive nose with solvents, musty wood, candy, vegetal and pepper. The palate is diluted and neutral alcohol dominates the few aromas, candies and grenadine syrup. The finish is short, a little longer than the previous ones, but an unpleasant chemical, medicinal edge ruins it completely.
Review by julie
Not a big fan of this one. Although the nose is okay-ish, the taste is just too sharp to be able to enjoy any of the other more sweeter notes. The finish is rough as well. Not something I would reach for again.

Muffiges Nichts
Review by Alex1981
Besser als der Letzte, dennoch flach und unangenehm muffig. Arra(c)k Attack 2.0 Tasting mit Artur einmal quer durch, von richtig fiesem Verschnitt bis zu erstaunlich guten Vertretern alles dabei. Tolle Reise zu dieser mir bis dato komplett unbekannten Spirituose.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relatively fruity and perfumed on the nose but also very pungent and fermented, reminiscent of vinegar. The taste is then primarily sharp and at the same time sweet and syrupy (no wonder with Riemerschmied as a syrup producer). The finish is extremely sharp and metallic. Really bad...
