Arrack.

Most

of the

dis-

tilled

from

rice,

and

comes

from

Batavia.

It

is

but

little

to

flavor

;

the

taste

'of

it

is

very

agreeable

in

this

mixture.

Arrack

improves

very

much

with

age.

It

is

much

used

in

some

parts

of

India,

where

it

is

distilled

from

toddy

^

the

juice

of

the

cocoanut

tree.

An

imitation

of

arrack

made

by

a

bowl

a

few

grains

of

benzoin,

commonly

called
