Taste
Arak Brun 5 Year is complex with a strong Anise and licorice aromas on the nose. The palate features a harmonious blend of herbal undertones mingled with fruity notes, making it ideal before and after a meal. Ice-cold water is often used; the addition of water to arrack gives it a cloudy appearance, a common modification known as the "Louche Effect," enhancing its flavor and aroma
History
Arak Brun 5 Year is made from the alcohol of estate grown Obeidi and Cinsault grapes, harvested at optimum ripeness, and blended with fresh anise. Since 2015, Domaine des Tourelles grows its own anise in Deir el Ahmar, a village in the district of Baalbek. Their arak is produced inside a hundred-year-old cellar, processed traditionally using a three-stage distillation in traditional alembics, and aged for 5 years in old clay jars. Its production has been uninterrupted since the inception of the winery in 1868! It exposes a historical and cultural heritage deeply inserted in the Middle East, particularly in regions like Israel, Lebanon, and Palestine. The production of Arak involves a meticulous process of distillation, infusion with aniseed, and a distinct dilution ritual that defines its consumption.
