Arak

Massaya Arak 750ml
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, Organic. Sustainable. Arak is the national drink of Lebanon, and this organic version is the best. Massaya means twilight in Arabic. It was adopted because it communicates the hue seen at the moment the sun sets behind Mount Lebanon and the sky of the Bekaa turns dark blue. One of the finest Lebanese Araks, Massaya Arak is made exclusively with hand-picked indigenous white Obeïdi grapes and green organic aniseed imported from Syria. Triple distilled and aged for 2 years, Arak has a beguiling aniseed flavor and freshness that cleanses the palate and aids digestion. A Lebanese summertime apertif, this serves as a perfect accompaniment to a classic selection of mezze dishes that include parsley, raw tomatoes, lemon, mint and garlic -- flavors that are sometimes hard to match with wine. 750 ml
Ksara Arak 750ml
Bekaa Valley, Lebanon Made from Ugni Blanc & Obeidi (indigenous to Lebanon), the grapes are first pressed then fermented between 15 and 20 days at low temp. The wines are distilled in Ksara's unique rectification column, which eliminates the methanol and all heavy and unhealthy oils that spoil the taste. Then, this pure grape alcohol is redistilled in a specially designed alembic made in France with the aniseed: Ksarak only uses aniseed from the reputed Mount Hermon's Al Heeneh area in Syria. The delicate scent of the prime aniseed is appealing to the true connoisseur. Only the "pure flower" obtained through an independent pipe is used to make the arak. Finally, this spirit is refined to release the purest and healthiest arak. Ksarak is finally matured for 2 years in clay jars manufactured in Beit Chebab following ancestral norms. It will go perfectly with Lebanese mezze and Oriental dishes. Could be drunk pure or with the water and ice. 750ml
