As far as i`ve read this is considered a very good Arrak which is supposed to have aromas of Coconut, vanilla and chocolate. Go get it..

The difference between Batavia Arrak and VSOA is that VSOA is made from distilled Palm Wine while the Batavia is distilled from fermented Sugar Cane, started with addition of fermented red rice.

So its a different Arrak, i wouldn`t mind trying it, but not to make Swedish Punsch, to that is needed Batavia.
