Meanwhile, Kaja Gin stands out with its unique blend of 100% European barley and eight botanicals and spices. We add a special touch to our gin by incorporating the native Indonesian fruit, cempedak, along with juniper berries, angelica roots, cubeb berries, licorice, cinnamon, lemon zest, and coriander. The result is a delightful and authentic gin with a distinct Indonesian essence.

The existence of Arak De’wan not only supports the socio-economic well-being of local arak farmers but also aligns with the Bali Governor’s initiatives. Our hope is that the birth of Arak De’wan contributes to the upliftment of local farmers and showcases the extraordinary quality of Bali’s indigenous ingredients.
