Aging: 10 years in traditional Lebanese clay jars
A decade of patient aging brings remarkable refinement to this traditional Lebanese spirit. Arak Brun Special Reserve combines old-vine Obeidi grape spirit with fragrant anise, followed by triple distillation and ten years of maturation in porous clay jars. The result is an elegant, rounded expression with distinctive anise character and a beautifully smooth texture. Known as “The Milk of Lions,” arak turns cloudy white when mixed with water. Serve one part arak with two parts cold water, adding ice afterward, and enjoy alongside hummus, grilled meats, olives and a generous Mediterranean mezze spread.
