Indonesia is the world's largest producer of spices. So creating a spiced NAGA rum was an obvious choice. Named MALACCA after the Malaysian port from which ships loaded with Asian fruits and spices set sail for Europe.
MALACCA, the port from which ships loaded with spices set sail, and the busiest strait in the world, gives its name to this Spiced Rum made from a young Batavia Arrack, the Indonesian rum, in which Kumquat, Jambu (the Indonesian pear), lemongrass and cinnamon have been macerated.
