	Who Batavia Arrack van Oosten is sourced and imported by Haus Alpenz, an American company specializing in traditional and historical spirits.
	Where Java, Indonesia
	What Batavia Arrack van Oosten is a bold, unaged spirit that combines the intense "hogo" (funk) of Jamaican rum with unique savory and smoky characteristics. Because it is fermented with red Javanese rice, it possesses a profile that has been described as a cross between rum, sake, and cognac. Highly "funky" and complex, it leads with vegetal spice, roasted nuts, and dark chocolate. Tasters often report savory or "briny" notes—sometimes compared to Asian BBQ sauce, dried shrimp, or even iodine.
	Why While some enthusiasts enjoy it neat for its "languorous charms," it is widely considered a challenging sipper. It is most valued as a "game-changer" in cocktails, particularly in a Classic Punch or as a split-base in Tiki drinks to add depth and a savory edge.
