The story behind it
The maker
The Razzouk family began distilling arak in the Judeida region of Lebanon in 1918. As one of Lebanon's oldest commercial arak brands, Razzouk has maintained its reputation for historic consistency and classic quality for over a century.
How it is made
Distilled in Mount Lebanon by the Razzouk family using traditional copper alembic stills. This iconic spirit is crafted by thrice-distilling quality grape alcohol macerated with select green aniseeds.
