Description

Rum: By The Dutch’s Batavia Arrack

By The Dutch’s Batavia Arrack is a classic example of the rum-like spirit made on the Indonesian island of Java.

Size: 750ML

Proof: 96.0 (48.0% ABV)

Origin: Indonesia

“Batavia Arrack” is a distillate based on 100% sugar-cane molasses, produced exclusively on the island of Java, Indonesia, dated back to the 17th century. It’s comprised of a very specific range of Pot still distillates. It’s the “Rum of Indonesia”. The fermentation process includes the addition of local (red) rice; it is this, which sets it apart from Rum, although the base material is still sugar-cane. Distillation of our Batavia Arrack is carried out using very traditional Pot stills, adopting ancient Chinese distillers’ methods. Our Master Blender created a excellent product, aged in oak barrels up to 8 years, resulting in fantastic rich and deep flavors, lingering on the palate.
