Batavia Arrack is pot-distilled from molasses (98%) that has been fermented with Red Javanese Rice (2%) on the Island of Java, Indonesia. The fermentation with rice which explains some of the surprising flavors found therein.

Tasting Notes

"The nose shows floral tones, saw-dust, herbaceous bay-laurel and dried basil. On the palate it is vibrant and round, filled with flavors moving so quick it is difficult to pick them; there is bread dough, and then basil and Kaffir, and finally roasted saffron and rangpur leaf. It has a clean ending that is complex and layered."
