Indonesia, The Emerald Archipelago is a vast island nation known for its volcanic landscapes, lush rainforests, stunning beaches, and long history of sugarcane cultivation dating back millennia. By the 1500s, the Dutch were trading Batavia Arrack, a unique spirit made with molasses, fermented red rice, and locally-grown Javanese sugarcane, distilled on traditional Chinese stills. This spirit reached Europe and America in the 1850s. While Arrack remains a national popular, a recent shift to craft rum has emerged on Bali, experimenting and creating exciting new expressions of Indonesian rum.
