Al Nabaa Special Reserve Arak 750 ML

Al Nabaa Special Reserve Arak is a higher-tier bottling in Al Nabaa's traditional Lebanese arak lineup, distilled from fermented grapes and re-distilled with aniseed in the same style produced across the Levant for generations. As a 'special reserve' bottling, it's positioned above the brand's standard arak, typically meaning either additional aging or a more selective distillation cut, though the exact difference isn't detailed in publicly available sources. Like other araks, it turns milky white when mixed with water and ice as the anise oils emulsify, and it carries the same strong licorice character over a grape-spirit base that defines the category. It's built as an aperitif for pairing with mezze rather than a standalone sipping spirit.

How to drink Al Nabaa Special Reserve Arak

Mix it roughly one part arak to two parts cold water over ice, the traditional Lebanese serve, and watch it turn cloudy white as the anise oils release. Pair it with mezze — olives, hummus, grilled meat — rather than drinking it neat.
