Blanka Arak | Founders Blend – 100 cl

Arak Blanka Founder's Blend is a premium, limited-edition Lebanese arak crafted as a matured Father's Day tribute. It represents an elevated, highly aged expression of the traditional spirit, produced by an artisanal three-generation family distillery.

• The Lineage: The craft was started over 50 years ago by Halim Bejjani in Lebanon, refined by Master Distiller Robert Bejjani, and is currently managed by his son Ramy.
• Ingredients: It is made by ETS. Distillery using indigenous Lebanese Merwah and Obeidi grapes and flavored with sweet Heena aniseed.
• Method: The spirit is distilled and purified using authentic copper stills.

Tasting Notes.

• Appearance: Crystal clear in the bottle, transforming into a pure milk-white color the moment it is mixed with water.
• Flavor: The use of Heena aniseed delivers a cleaner, rounder, and sweeter taste profile compared to the sharper anise notes found in industrial araks. The underlying grape spirit offers a full body without harshness.
• Strength & Packaging: The Founder's Blend is packaged in a sleek, distinct white bottle, typically available in a 100 cl (1L) size and bottled at a robust 75% ABV.

• Pour one part arak to two parts water into a small glass.
• Add ice last so that the ice never directly touches the neat spirit (preventing an unwanted film from forming).
• Enjoy alongside a traditional spread of Levantine mezze

Almaza Pilsner Beer includes delicate aromas of grain and corn waft from the glass. And that’s not really surprising, when you discover that the brewery states “corn makes up to 25%” of the grain bill. But give the beer a few vigorous swirls to bring some of its head back. And you’ll soon discover that it also brings light notes of honey and flora, with grassy hints.

That light, delicate character also carries into Almaza Pilsener Beer’s flavor.

Winemaking: The grapes are manually harvested, totally stemmed and transferred to tank in order to achieve the alcoholic fermentation. The Cinsault is shortly vatted to keep the freshness, the Syrah and Mourvedre are kept for a longer time to extract the aroma and spices, and the Cabernet-Sauvignon undergoes long skin contact to express length and elegance. The free flowing and press wine achieve the malolactic fermentation in different vats.

Maturing: The grape varietals are matured separately in vats for 14 to 18 months before being blended, fined and bottled. Taste: Its bright intense ruby red colour, with an exotic fruity aroma along with spicy and licorice notes make it a wine to remember. The mellow and supple tannins produce a persisting length on the Palate Ageing It can be drunk upon purchase or kept for 2 to 3 years in a good cellar.

Serving: Its easy flowing taste suits daily consumption and goes along very well with leg of lamb and stew
