A traditional Lebanese arak from Kfardebian, distilled from native grapes and aniseed and bottled at 50% ABV in a 750ml format. The Fakra distillery traces its roots to the early 18th century. The spirit uses indigenous Obeidi and Merwayh grape varieties with Hina aniseed, and matures in traditional baked clay jars. The aroma is led by aniseed, with sweet fennel, subtle herbal complexity and grape-spirit warmth. The palate is bold and slightly spicy, with concentrated anise, a silky texture and fennel-infused grape notes. The finish is medium-long, with licorice and gentle warmth.
