Arak Fakra Diamond – 70 cl

To celebrate over a century of excellence Since Sheikh Nabih El Khazen first produced Baladi Arak under the proper label, His grandson, Dr.
Carlos Guillermo El Adem, is launching this DIAMOND limited edition of Arak Fakra as a milestone to perfection

Arak Fakra is an extra special baladi Arak, distilled in keeping with the ancestral Lebanese traditions with a selection of clusters of grapes and top-quality aniseed. It is then aged until maturity in baked clay jars which gives it a taste unlike any other.

Arak is the national Lebanese beverage. Today, over 100 years later, this family's descendants perpetuate the traditions of the Lebanese mountain by producing with the same method and according to the same formula that rare arak bearing the name of Arak Fakra, a name inspired by a prestigious site of that mountain situated at an altitude of more then 1500 meters. Already long before our era, the Romans had chosen this area to raise temples devoted to their divinities among which that of Venus and monuments honoring emperor Claudius (10AC - 54AD) whose name was Baalgalassos. The shadow of these temples' ruins still hands today over the cellars where Arak Fakra comes to maturity.

A Lebanese artisanal anise flavored beverage, triple distilled from neutral grapespirit.

Its authenticity infused with national pride.

Suits the taste of young and old generations for its flavor and kick.

Arak Massaya has a beguiling aniseed flavor and freshness that cleans the palate and aids digestion. It is often served as an aperitif and then as the perfect accompaniment to classic selections of mezze, the array of tasty dishes with contrasting flavours that is the starting point for many lunchtime or evening meals.

Arak works particularly well with the mezze melange that will include olives, spices, meat and cheese flavors that are sometimes harder to match with wine.

The arak of Chateau Ksara is a truly authentic expression of Lebanon's traditional, anise-flavored spirit.

It is produced in a specially-designed alembic still using an innovative technique to assure that only the heart of the distillate, the real "pure flower", is used. Finally, following ancestral norms, Ksarak is matured for two years in clay jars from Beit Chebab before it is at last ready for consumption.

Always Down! Always Grounded! This is a wine whose whiteness doesn’t promise virtue, but promises a clear invitation to fuck shit up! Not just a side dish for your meal, this is a traveling companion along the streets!

This is a wine for the rooftop parties where the people have wings!

This is a wine for people who enjoy themselves! Drink White and Forget the Night .
