Mood: Bright, traditional, ceremonial.
Sommelier’s note
“A clean, bright arak, sharp anise, clean grape spirit underneath, no rough edges. Pours milky white the second water hits.”
Tasting notes
Sharp anise and licorice lift the nose, with a light spice underneath. Clean and bright, anise leads, warm spirit carries the middle, a soft grape sweetness lingers. Long, clean, dry, the licorice echo stays with you.
Pairing
Pour one part arak to two parts ice water. Perfect alongside mezze, grilled lamb, spicy salatim, or as the toast at a Shabbos kiddush.
