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.
