What sets it apart from rum is the fermentation: the molasses wash ferments in wooden vats with local, traditional wild yeast grown on red rice cakes. It is then distilled twice in very old-fashioned pot stills using ancient Chinese distillers' methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe arrack is shipped to Amsterdam, where it is laid down in large oak casks and blended to a secret recipe by the master blender, then bottled in Schiedam.
