I tried this a while ago, and it's interesting as a curiousity, but not much else. The flavor has absolutely nothing in common with Batavia Arrack and very little similarity to rum. More similar to a vaguely tropical tasting unaged whiskey or brandy.
I do think it is a bit funny that they call it, "Pure Distilled Coconut Spirit," yet my bottle notes "Ingredients: Water, Coconut Spirits, Caramel, Sugar."
