Bremer Rum Contor Robinson Batavia Arrac Verschnitt AV

Better than you'd fear from a Batavia arrack Verschnitt — that's the recurring surprise here. Fermented tropical fruit, glue and light ester on the nose hint at a diluted Jamaican cousin, then the palate turns buttery with cream toffee and a metallic, slightly bitter edge. At 40% the neutral spirit still shows through, and the finish goes short, dry and soapy. Curious, not polished.

The community says
  • Light Jamaican esters
  • But: Metallic, soapy edge
  • But: Short bitter finish

Apparently things are looking up in the world of Arracks. This one is already a bit better. Quite fruity (tropical fruits) and fermented on the nose. On the palate also tropical fruits, plus it is sweet and alcoholic at the same time.

Once again an outstanding tasting that Artur organized superbly. Many thanks for the introduction to the world of Arra(c)k. The blends are a real challenge for the taste buds. But what really surprised me was this BASF bottling. My deepest respect for the time and effort that is always put into it. A real honor to be able to participate in such tastings again and again.
