A Spirited History: From Marco Polo to Rockland – Amal de Silva Wijeyeratne, Group Managing Director of Rockland Distilleries, explores the rich history of arrack

Amal de Silva Wijeyeratne, Group Managing Director of Rockland Distilleries, explores the rich history of arrack, one of the world’s oldest spirits, with records dating back to before the 13th century.

One of the last family distilleries in Sri Lanka, Rockland, celebrates 100 years. Rockland’s Chairman Derek De Silva Wijeyeratne and Group Managing Director Amal De Silva Wijeyeratne trace the history and enduring legacy of Arrack and the values that established Rockland as a leading corporation in Sri Lanka that continues to thrive on brand excellence while preserving traditional crafts and making significant contributions to livelihoods, communities and the country.
