Arrack. Most of the an-ack imported into this country is dis tilled from rice, and comes fromBatavia. It is but little used in America, except to flavor punch; the taste of it is very agreeable in this mixture. Aj'rack 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 punch is made by adding to a bowl of punch a few grains of benzoin, commonly called flowers of Benjamin.
