An exotic rum from the Indonesian isle of Java, famous for its wildlife, beaches and coffee. This rum is a meeting point between traditional Caribbean rums and the local speciality Batavian Arrack (which was popular during colonial times, particularly in punches). Arrack is a distillate produced using red rice, coconut sap or fruit. Naga Rum, like many western rums, is molasses based, but uses yeast from the red rice grain in fermentation. The spirit is distilled in both pot and column stills, creating a good balance of heavy and light spirits. Naga Rum also uses a unique aging process, that sees the spirit aged first in Jatti wood, a type of teak native to the region, before a finishing period in former Bourbon barrels. The result is a subtly flavoured and sweet rum variety with a hint of exotic fruits and some slight peppery spice. Naga Rum takes its name from a religious term referring to mythical protectors of the elements, and you might well have a spiritual experience drinking this fantastic offering.
