Haddad Rum White

This special anise is grown exclusively in the Heena plains, just a foot away of Al-Sheik Mountain, where the soil possesses high levels of minerals.

Smooth on the palate slight sweetness, with a delicate scent of the quality aniseed.

Aromatic nose of wild black berries, jammy black plum, some toasty notes and liquorice. It develops toffee aromas and caramel after a few minutes.

PALATE: The start is fresh, juicy and fruity (blackberry, plum, some mulberry), then develops some spiciness and supple tannins.

The final is long, round and peppery.

Arak Haddad Zahra (Elite) is the prime capture of distilling Arak in the still and re-distilling it for the fourth time to give the most complex part of the anise character. Zahra is further aged in special wooden barrels to provide a mature finish worth celebrating.

Zahra is full bodied with very rich character yet smooth for drinking, best served with water and ice and goes well with Mediterranean food.
