With Naga rums from Indonesia, discover the origins of rum! It was in fact at the end of the 15th century that the Portuguese reached the island of Java and discovered the sugarcane plantations run by the Chinese. The Chinese had a secret recipe for fermenting molasses before distilling it to produce the Indonesian rum known today as "Batavia Arrack".
This rum is distinguished from other rums by the use of red yeast rice in the fermentation process. Naga is distilled using a traditional Chinese alembic and a column still. Since 1641, once distilled, the rum is placed in 570-liter casks made of teak, the traditional Indonesian wood, before being placed in oak barrels that have contained bourbon. This Pearl Of Jakarta edition is finished in sherry casks, giving it a really interesting structure and aromatic volume.
Caramelized, vanilla-sweet nose with a touch of dried and candied fruit. This is followed by lightly smoky, toasty notes. On the palate, it's a round, gourmet rum that unfurls woody aromas before developing notes of nougat and roasted nuts.
Greedy finish on walnuts and black cherry jam.
