Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wonderfully delicious Batavia Arrack with a sweet wine finish. Candied fruit, mandarin and passion fruit, roasted nuts, eucalyptus, saffron, red pepper and burnt caramel. Very pleasant to drink and very fairly priced. Highly recommended!
Review by cigares
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. Sweetness on the nose, herbs, apple and yellow fruit. The influence of the sweet wines used for finishing is also evident. The attack is soft on the palate, with yellow fruit and sour apple. The finish is long, slightly bitter and woody, still with yellow fruits. A very special arrack because of its finish.

Arrack 2.0 @Artur: Schöner Fasseinfluss, nicht überbordend, gefällt mir gut!
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 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 Alex1981
Fass überlagert leicht das Destillat, nicht gut integriert. Vielversprechend aber reicht leider nicht für eine 8. 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 Leo Krüper
Leider das Finish nicht gut ausgenutzt. Etwas runder noch, dann hätten wir eine evtl eine 80er Bewertung gesehen.
