Rum of the day 17
Batavia Arrack
Batavia Arrack
By the Dutch Batavia Arrack is a distillate based on 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 originating from the East Indies, produced on the Island of Java, Indonesia. It’s the “rum of Indonesia”. The fermentation process includes the addition of local fermented (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, causing fantastic rich and deep flavors, lingering on the palate.

Batavia was the name of the capital city of the Dutch East Indies, and corresponds to the present day city of Jakarta. The establishment of Batavia (Java Island) at the site of the razed city of Jayakarta by the Dutch in 1619 led to the Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. Batavia became the center of the Dutch East India Company’s trading network in Asia. The trade in Batavia arrack was entirely in hands of the Dutch VOC. Virtually all arrack exported to Europe arrived in Amsterdam or Rotterdam in wooden barrels or buts (563 liters). This would than be matured and blended to create an end product of consistent quality and flavor.
Tasting notes:
Rich, deep and lingering flavours. It has a dry and spicy flavour of oak with mild touches of sweetness.
Fort en alcool Doux en bouche Goûteux Très agréable
Nez Legé, mais agréable, qui donne envie d’y aller. Doux et rond en bouche. Très bon arômes et goût persistant. Bonne surprise, très bon rhum à mon goût. Merci
It’s a No from me.
Très bon !
Naja …
Dobrý, silný 3 z 5
One of the least best flavoured in this callender so far.
C est du rhum ???
Nothing for me . Sorry
Nice flavour. A bit spirity for my taste
Smooth rum with a fruity aftertaste
Nja lite för mycket finkelolja
Ce rhum est vraiment atypique, on sent le vraiment bien le riz qui apporte un côté “saké”. Les 46% sont contrebalancés par la douceur de la canne à sucre.
Bon
Not my taste
Wow
Not for me
Light yellow rum with woody and spicy flavors. The woody and spicy flavor also domains on the taste, and it is complemented with a subtle sweet flavor.
Too strong
Silnej
Ñja,hmmm
Not good
Reminds me a bit of swedish punsch due to the heavy arrack. However not my favourite rum in the calendar.
Strong, no rhum-taste !
Velmi zajímavý kousek, jen škoda špatných a nepřesných informací v popisu.
Smells like paint stripper.. doesn’t taste any better, good for indigestion
Docela dobrý.
Dry
A taste of cheap Wine and and and
bad taste
Tento je lepší, ako predchádzajúca vzorka z Batavie. Chyba mi jantárová farba dubového sudu.
fine little strong
Chronic. Nothing like rum!
