Review and Tasting
Sampled on 02/05/2016
Appearance:
(sample batch 001, bottle No. 001) Clear but not bright, golden amber.
Aroma:
Fruity esters – apple, overripe pear, overripe banana – cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, new leather, old oak, clove and anise.
Taste:
Dry spicy oak partially balanced by the merest hint of sweetness. Spicy, fruity esters explode on the palate, somewhat smoothed by linseed oil.
Aftertaste:
Linseed oil rubbed leather, dry oak and lingering clove, nutmeg and cinnamon spice with fruity esters.
Overall:
Forget refinement, bring on the flavour explosion. Proper Batavia Arrack is powerful stuff and this characterful example has assertive fruit esters and spice.
