Our History
Ceylon Arrack is a spirit that brings together many rich and diverse histories.
Arrack is a name given to many distilled spirits in South and South East Asia and can be made from molasses, rice and the coconut palm. It is one of the oldest distilled spirits in the world, with a history going back hundreds of years.
Situated in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka lies at a crossroads of many ancient trade routes. Its food, drink and arts culture contains influences not just from Asia, but from all over the world. Ceylon was the name given to the island by the British in the early 1800s.
Ceylon Arrack is a product of a place, a people and their history. Modern, delicate and versatile, it’s perfect for the contemporary global bar world.
Our Environment
Rockland Distilleries is also one of the first green distilleries in the world. You can discover more about our environmental commitments on the link below.
Working with local elements is crucial to the ethos of Ceylon Arrack. The raw ingredients are harvested by the high-wire skills of the toddy tappers, the liquid is naturally-fermented and – after distillation – aged in vatsrock made from local wood.
Ceylon Arrack is an expression of a land and its people. Of traditions honoured and stories not yet written. Of elegance and beauty. Of inspiration.
