Touma Arak

R.T. Touma Arak is a "king of Arak" made with neutral grape spirits and flavored with anise seeds. This unique and traditional spirit is a product of Lebanon. Touma Arak has been produced since 1888 and is widely regarded as one of the finest commercially produced Araks.

This Arak Liqueur is a wine-based spirit that has a subtle aniseed flavor and underlying purity. It has been made from a variety of sweet grapes pressed and then fermented and then distilled over a low fire.

Touma Arak has a transparent color. It offers a pure crushed anise seed and earth aromas with a bold, mildly sweet medium-full body and an intensely fiery, numbing tongue finish. It has bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume). It is best to savor neat after coffee. Try serving it as an aperitif. Enjoy!
