By the Dutch Batavia Arrack

Discover the rich heritage of the "Rum of Indonesia" with By the Dutch Batavia Arrack. Produced exclusively on the island of Java using techniques dating back to the 17th century, this spirit offers a complexity that standard rums cannot match. While the base is familiar 100% sugar-cane molasses, the distinction lies in the fermentation process. The addition of local wild yeast grown on red rice creates unique, complex notes that set this spirit apart from its Caribbean counterparts. Distilled in traditional pot stills using ancient Chinese methods, the liquid is laid to rest for up to eight years. The dual-aging process in teak and oak barrels imparts a fantastic depth of flavor, resulting in a rich profile that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Whether you are a cocktail enthusiast looking to elevate your punches or a connoisseur seeking a sipping spirit with history, this Arrack delivers an authentic taste of the East Indies.
