Arak Fakra 55% Alc (750ml): A Masterclass in Traditional Distillation
\nElevate your table with Arak Fakra, a premium spirit that captures the rugged beauty and refined heritage of the Kfardebian mountains. Standing at a robust 55% alcohol by volume, this “Classic” edition is crafted for connoisseurs who seek a balance between intense anise flavor and a velvety finish.
\nThe Heritage: Produced near the ancient Roman ruins of Fakra, this spirit follows a centuries-old lineage. Every bottle is a tribute to Lebanese craftsmanship, using mineral-rich water from the Laban and Assal springs.
\nTriple-Distillation: Using traditional copper alembics, the spirit undergoes three precise distillations. This process strips away impurities, leaving only the pure essence of the Mediterranean sun-drenched grapes and the finest green aniseed from the village of Hina.
\nClay-Aged Perfection: Unlike modern spirits aged in steel, Arak Fakra is rested for at least 24 months in handmade clay jars from Beit-Chabab. This porous environment allows the alcohol to “breathe,” mellowing its fire while concentrating its aromatic herbal profile.
\nTasting Notes: On the nose, expect a bright, clean burst of fresh licorice and fennel. On the palate, the high alcohol content provides a warm, full-bodied structure that transitions into a refreshing, cooling sensation.
\nThe Perfect Serve: To experience its full magic, pour one part Arak Fakra into a fresh glass, followed by two parts cool water. Watch as it transforms into a snowy, milky-white “louche.” Add ice last to preserve the integrity of the essential oils, and pair it with a traditional Lebanese mezze of hummus, grilled lamb, or spicy olives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
