Naga Malacca
Naga Malacca is an exotic spiced rum from Indonesia, inspired by the historic port of Malacca. It has an amber color and offers a rich tropical profile with subtle spicy notes – perfect on its own, on the rocks, or as a base for original summer cocktails.
The base is slow fermentation of molasses on rice yeast. The full-bodied blend is split: half is double distilled in traditional Indonesian pot stills, the other half in modern column stills.
The subsequent aging occurs in two steps – first in barrels made of Indonesian teak (a hardwood from Southeast Asia), then in barrels of American white oak used for bourbon.
On the nose, citrus notes of clementines emerge, subtly complemented by spices like clove, black pepper, and nutmeg. On the palate, tropical fruit dominates – kumquat, lime, and clementine, intertwining with ginger, nutmeg, and lemongrass. The finish is long-lasting with a gentle hint of apple and fresh spice.
The name “Naga” (dragon) refers to Asian mythology and the trade roots of the region. The production tradition draws from the long history of Batavian arrack – the precursor to spirits in Indonesia. Malacca, once a key port for the export of exotic spices, gave the rum its characteristic aromatic profile and exotic identity.
Bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 40% with a volume of 0.7 l.
