Review by DomM
Dirty, smokey and intensive. Plastic and solvent notes. Wired and interesting stuff.
Review by zabo
Wieder einmal ein überragendes Tasting das Artur super organisiert hat. Vielen Dank in die Einführung in die Welt des Arra(c)ks. Die Verschnitte sind schon eine wahre Herausforderung an die Geschmacksnerven. Wirklich überrascht hat mich aber diese BASF Abfüllung. Meinen tiefsten Respekt für die Zeit und Mühe die dort immer wieder reingesteckt wird. Eine wirkliche Ehre immer wieder bei solchen Tastings dabei sein zu dürfen.
Review by Johannes
Arrack 2.0 @Artur: In der Nase fruchtig, Himbeere. Am Gaumen Krasse Rauchnoten, wie geräuchert, kein Torf, Alkohol gut eingebunden.
Review by Mirco
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! 😊
Review by cigares
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. An unpleasant, extreme nose of chemicals and sugar, strawberry candy and bitterness, wood and ferment, burnt tires. The palate is also very unpleasant, with additional smoky peat and bitterness. The burnt-tire aspect is more pronounced than on the nose. The finish is long, but with the same aroma. I find it very unpleasant, but I'll raise the score one point for its super originality.

Erinnert mich an Kölsch Wasser mit Benzin gemischt und viel verbrannten Autoreifen und Plastik! 😄 der Alkohol ist relativ präsent und das gesamte Geschmacksbild sagt mir leider wirklich so gar nicht zu, sorry! 😄
Review by Alex1981
Verbranntes Plastik, bäh. Arra(c)k Attack 2.0 Tasting mit Artur einmal quer durch, von richtig fiesem Verschnitt bis zu erstaunlich guten Vertretern alles dabei. Tolle Reise zu dieser mir bis dato komplett unbekannten Spirituose.
