Are there fake arrack brands sold to tourists.

Counterfeit alcohol is extremely rare if you buy strictly from official government licensed Wine Stores or major supermarkets. The primary issue is not fake brands but low quality blends. Many cheap bottles labeled as Arrack are actually blended heavily with harsh neutral grain spirits and artificial flavorings. To guarantee you are drinking a legitimate premium product you must explicitly look for bottles that clearly state 100% Pure Coconut Arrack on the label such as Ceylon Arrack or Old Reserve. Avoid anything simply labeled Extra Special without clarifying the ingredients.
