Arak Fakra XO Supreme 55% Alc (700ml): The Connoisseur’s Choice
The Arak Fakra XO Supreme is a masterpiece of balance, designed to showcase both the power of high-proof distillation and the elegance of long-term aging. Produced by Chateau Fakra using methods unchanged for over a century, this “XO” (Extra Old) edition represents the pinnacle of the distillery’s craft.
The Rare Blend: This supreme hors d’age spirit is distilled from wild, indigenous Merwah grapes and superior-quality Hina aniseed. The inclusion of pure spring water from “Nabe’ el Assal” (Spring of Honey) contributes to its soft, distinctive mouthfeel.
The Seven-Year Clay Aging: While most araks age for one to two years, the XO Supreme is matured for a full seven years in traditional, handmade clay jars from Beit-Chabab. This extensive resting period allows the spirit to breathe, stripping away any harsh edges while deepening its complex herbal notes.
Aromatic Profile:
Nose: Crystal clear with an elegant, floral, and fresh licorice nose that avoids being overly sweet.
Palate: Bold and honest yet exceptionally soft; it embraces classic fennel and licorice flavors without overwhelming the palate.
Finish: A remarkably smooth, rich, and mellow finish with delicate fruit undertones.
The Ritual: To honor its age, serve one part Arak Fakra XO Supreme with two parts chilled water and ice. The resulting milky-white “louche” is thick and fragrant. It is an ideal companion for high-end Mediterranean mezze, particularly raw meat dishes (Kibbeh Nayeh), or as a standalone digestif.
