THE HISTORY

• NAGA RUM - INDONESIAN AGED RUM

NAGA RUM is produced in the northern part of the island of Java using an ancient Asian distillation process. The rum in Indonesia bears the name of Batavia Arrack: Batavia being the name given by the Dutch in 1619 in Jakarta. And the word Arrak is an Arabic name that means spirits. It is one of the oldest alcohols in the world ... as early as 1634 writings bear witness to the trade of the Indonesian rum by the English and Dutch merchants. In the 1700 Batavia Arak was very popular in Europe and considered to be of much better quality than Caribbean rum. In 1796 Joseph Francois Charpentier de Cossigny, botanist engineer and French explorer, wrote: "Indonesian rum is much better quality than Jamaican rum, a fact that even the English must recognize"


NAGA RUM TRIPLE WOOD NV

Naga is an Indonesian rum made by fermenting molasses with Javanese red rice yeast and ageing distillates in Jati and Bourbon casks. After the initial maturation process, Naga is then aged in cherry wood casks, which increases its pre-bottling alcohol content, at which point this former double-cask-aged rum becomes Naga Triple Wood, with more tannic, powerful and spicy notes.
