Batavia Arrack Van Oosten, Austria, 750ml

From the late 17th to 19th century, in an age when “Punch” was a celebration of all things then exotic—citrus, sugar, and spice—no Punch was without a true Batavia Arrack. Made from sugar cane and fermented red rice, and bottled at elevated proof without aging, Batavia Arrack van Oosten combines smoky fruitiness with a vegetal funk that soaks up tea, lemon, and sugar in the punch bowl.  A must for many classic recipes, this spirit, is once again available to enjoy for those historical drinks and punches...no time machine required!
