The Naga Edition 2019 Pearl of Jakarta is a unique and exceptional rum, hailing from the rich and fertile traditions and craftsmanship of Indonesia. This rum is a sophisticated blend of both light and heavy rums, distilled using both Column Still and Pot Still methods. After distillation, it undergoes an intricate aging process: first aged for three years in teak barrels, then for four years in ex-Bourbon oak barrels, and finally finished for an additional twelve months in Cherrywood barrels. This triple cask maturation imparts distinctively fruity and refined notes to the rum.
The fermentation process utilizes red rice yeast, a testament to the brand's dedication to preserving traditional techniques while introducing innovative qualities. This results in a rum that offers a truly unparalleled tasting experience.
Aromatically, the Naga Edition 2019 Pearl of Jakarta presents a soft and sweet bouquet, balanced by notes of burnt wood, coal, and copper. These evolve into delightful nuances of nougatine or roasted nuts. The palate reveals a caramelized sweetness reminiscent of crème brûlée or barley sugar, with subtle hints of dried plum adding a fruity dimension, further enriched by well-rounded grenadine and mirabelle jam flavors.
Upon aeration, a subtle smokiness emerges, accompanied by metallic notes that lend the rum an intriguing industrial character. The smokiness develops into roasted and caramelized pecans, enhancing its complexity.
Overall, the Naga Edition 2019 Pearl of Jakarta is a true gem, offering a tasting experience like no other. Its triple maturation process provides a unique depth of aroma and flavor, making each glass an extraordinary gastronomic exploration.

The Naga Edition 2019 Pearl of Jakarta has received mixed reviews. While many appreciate its intricate craftsmanship and unique triple cask aging process, some find it a bit too sweet for their taste. The aroma is often compared to a whiskey finished in sherry barrels, with noticeable alcohol overtones. The palate is described as a mix of sweet tea laden with sugar and tropical fruits, particularly papaya. The finish is of average length, leaving a sugary residue. Despite its sweetness, it is considered a well-crafted rum that intrigues many, though it may not be suitable for those who prefer less sweetness in their spirits.
