Arak Askalon Extra Fine 750 ml
About this bottle
Arak Askalon Extra Fine is an anise-flavored spirit from Askalon, produced in the traditional style popular across the Levant and Middle East. Like other araks, it's distilled from a grape or grain base and redistilled with aniseed, giving it a clear appearance and a strong, distinctive licorice aroma. The Extra Fine designation points to a smoother, more refined batch than a standard bottling, without the harshness found in cheaper araks. It's typically served as a digestif or alongside mezze rather than mixed into cocktails. This 750ml bottle suits fans of anise spirits like ouzo or raki looking for the Levantine version of the style.
How to drink Arak Askalon Extra Fine
Arak is traditionally served with water and ice, which turns the clear spirit cloudy (the louche effect) and softens the anise into something more approachable. Pour the arak first, then add water gradually to taste rather than diluting it all at once.
