Askalon Extra Fine Special Arak

Discover the refined, time-honored taste of Askalon Extra Fine Special Arak, a premium Middle Eastern spirit available in a 750ml bottle from specialty beverage retailers. Produced in Israel by the esteemed Barkan Wine Cellars, this arak is crafted using traditional methods that emphasize a delicate balance between high-quality alcohol and the aromatic power of aniseed.

This "Extra Fine" expression is distilled from fine grapes and infused with hand-selected aniseed, resulting in a crystal-clear spirit that is both bold and remarkably smooth. It is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), though a 100-proof version is also highly sought after. The flavor profile is defined by an intense anise aroma with sweet herbal undertones, leading to a rich mouthfeel and a clean, lingering licorice finish. Notably, this arak is Kosher for Passover (KP), making it a staple for festive Mediterranean gatherings and holiday celebrations.

Askalon Extra Fine Special Arak is an essential gift for lovers of anise-flavored spirits like Ouzo, Pastis, or Sambuca. It is traditionally enjoyed as an aperitif, prepared by mixing one part arak with two parts cold water and pouring over ice—a process that creates the famous "louche" effect, turning the clear liquid into a beautiful milky-white. It serves as the perfect accompaniment to mezze platters, grilled meats, and salty olives, offering a refreshing contrast to bold Mediterranean flavors.
