Batavia was name of the capital city of the Dutch East Indies, and corresponds to the present day city of Jakarta. The establishment of Batavia (Java Island) at the site of the razed city of Jakarta by the Dutch in 1619 led to the Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. Batavia became the centre of the Dutch East India Company's trading network in Asia. The trade in Batavia Arrack was entirely in the hands of the Dutch VOC. Virtually all Arrack exported to Europe arrived in Amsterdam or Rotterdam in wooden barrels or butts (563 litres).
