It 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 in clay jars.

Fakra Arak was born from an Arak distillery founded in the early eighteenth century in Kfardebian, Lebanon by a noble Lebanese family of whose family members were Consuls of France and Venice. The distillery is presently equipped with several traditional pot stills and numerous clay jars that give “ARAK FAKRA” its superior quality and premium taste.

The Outstanding Example Of Arak, Lebanon’s National Drink, Is Made With The Finest Grape Alcohol, To Which Aniseed From The Al Heenah Area Of Mount Hermon (Considered The Finest Aniseed In The World) Is Added. The Spirit Is Distilled To Release The Purest Arak, Which Is Then Aged For Two Years In Clay Jars. Served With Water And Ice.
