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. |
