Arak Touma
Experience the legendary “King of Arak” with Arak Touma, an authentic masterpiece of Levantine heritage crafted by the Touma family in Chtaura, Beqaa Valley since 1888. Made from select sweet white grapes and high-grade whole Mediterranean aniseed, this classic Lebanese spirit undergoes a meticulous quadruple distillation over a slow fire. Aged in traditional Beit Chebab clay jugs, the spirit breathes to eliminate harshness, concentrating its rich herbal complexity and delivering a signature silky texture.
