Arak Touma Extra
Experience 130 years of family tradition with Arak Touma Extra, widely celebrated as the ultimate pinnacle of Lebanese distillation. Produced in the Bekaa Valley by the legendary Touma family, this “Extra” expression is crafted exclusively from 100% indigenous Obaideh grapes—famous for their high sugar content and silky texture—and top-grade Mediterranean aniseed. Quadruple-distilled in traditional stills over a slow fire and aged in clay jugs, it delivers an extraordinary depth of flavor while maintaining a silky-soft finish that defies its robust 53% ABV.
