J.B. Labat Batavia Arack (Garcia Edition) 2023

RumX members see this as a solid, characterful Batavia arrack: dry, fruity and herbaceous with sweet-wine cask influence, good value and interest, though the cask integration feels a bit uneven to some.

    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!

    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!

    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! 😊
