Made from grape alcohol derived from indigenous Obaideh and Merwah grapes, it represents a centuries-old Levantine tradition elevated through meticulous production and aging. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"704\"\u003eThe spirit is distilled four times—an uncommon and highly precise process—with anise seeds added during the final distillation, enhancing purity and aromatic intensity. It is then aged in terracotta amphorae, which soften the texture and develop subtle liquorice and herbal complexity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003eThe nose is clean and powerful, showing intense aromas of anise, fennel and liquorice. On the palate, it is dry, smooth and highly aromatic, with a rich, velvety texture and a long, lingering finish dominated by fresh aniseed notes. When mixed with water, it turns a characteristic milky white (“louche”), adding both visual appeal and a softer mouthfeel. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1367\"\u003eThe style is bold yet refined, offering both intensity and surprising smoothness despite its high alcohol (around 53% ABV). It can be enjoyed traditionally with water and ice, neat as a digestif, or even in modern cocktails. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1772\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is a must-try for adventurous drinkers and those looking to explore beyond wine into authentic Lebanese spirits.
