Chateau Ksara Arak Ksarak 750ml

Lebanon's Most Celebrated Arak — From Its Oldest Winery

Chateau Ksara was founded in 1857 by Jesuit monks in the Bekaa Valley, making it Lebanon's oldest winery. Ksarak is their flagship arak — crafted from estate grape spirit and aniseeds using the traditional triple distillation method that has defined Lebanese arak for centuries. Widely regarded as one of the finest araks produced in Lebanon, Ksarak delivers a clean, bright, intensely aromatic character that has earned it a devoted following both at home and internationally.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Clean and intensely aromatic. Star anise leads with a bright, fresh character and a subtle grape spirit depth.
• Palate: Bold and refreshing. Anise dominates with a clean, unsweetened character and a smooth texture that speaks to careful triple distillation.
• Finish: Long and cooling. Anise and a gentle warmth linger with a clean, elegant close.
