About Arak Abou Akl<\/h2>\n

Arak Abou Akl is a traditional Lebanese arak produced by a family distillery in Mtein, a village in the Metn highlands of Mount Lebanon, with production dating back to 1935. Over the decades it has built a solid reputation both within Lebanon and among the diaspora, becoming a familiar bottle on tables far beyond its mountain home.<\/p>\n

The arak is triple-distilled from grapes and flavoured with aniseed, following the meticulous methods that give quality Lebanese arak its clean, smooth finish. The family has developed an export presence over the years, with Arak Abou Akl reaching specialist retailers in North America and other international markets.<\/p>\n
