RAKSASA Gula Melaka Rum (50cl, 40% ABV) — Rice Wine Spirit Infused with Malaysian Palm Sugar
RAKSASA Gula Melaka Rum is a bold Malaysian craft spirit that fuses a heritage rice-wine base with the deep, caramelised sweetness of Gula Melaka (palm sugar)—creating a warm, tropical, “dessert-leaning” profile with earthy undertones.
It’s built on the same rice-wine lineage traced back to Mantin (early 1900s) and later Seremban, where traditional distillation methods and natural-ingredient “alchemy” are preserved.
