Arak Brun 5 Year (75cl)

Arak Brun 5 Year is a Lebanese anise spirit, triple-distilled in traditional alembics from estate-grown Obeidi and Cinsault grapes and blended with anise from Deir el Ahmar in the Baalbek district. It is matured for five years in old clay jars, which give it depth and a smooth, refined character. The brand is named for François-Eugène Brun and dates back to 1868, and the spirit is produced in a century-old cellar. The profile is balanced between grape and anise. It can be taken neat, with water or in a cocktail, and turns milky-white when mixed with water and ice.
