Question 1

What does Ceylon Arrack taste like?

Accepted Answer

Ceylon Arrack is characterised by Vegetative, Oily notes. Ceylon Arrack is a traditional spirit distilled from hand-collected coconut flower sap and aged in Sri Lankan oak, reviving a nearly forgotten cocktail ingredient.

Best enjoyed in period cocktails like the Swizzle or as a historical footnote for spirit collectors.
