A triple-distilled Lebanese anise spirit from Gantous & Abou Raad, made from grape spirit, aniseeds and water. The Ghantous family began producing arak in 1893 in Zahle, and joined forces with the Abou Raad family in 1946. It is bottled at 50% ABV in a 750ml bottle.
Only premium aniseeds and top-quality white grapes from the Bekaa Valley are selected, and the spirit is aged before bottling to allow it to marry and soften. It earned a Gold medal for Spirits of the Highest Quality at the 1981 Leipzig Fair.
The nose opens with bright, clean anise, with subtle herbal undertones and faint grape-spirit sweetness. The palate is velvety and smooth, with focused anise flavour and gentle sweetness. The finish is medium-long, with lingering anise warmth and a cooling menthol-like sensation.
