Arrack

The result is a multi-faceted liquid, intense in hue and flavor with a rich sweet nose, and a hint of tropical sunshine. It may be savoured on the rocks, or as a base for a myriad of exotic cocktails. A drink of esteemed character, with a distinct charm, it is sure to win the hearts of those who try it.

The outstanding example of arak, Lebanon’s national drink, is made with the finest grape alcohol, to which aniseed from the Al Heenah area of Mount Hermon (considered the finest aniseed in the world) is added. The spirit is distilled to release the purest arak, which is then aged for two years in clay jars.
