review: Arak Al Laytany

February 9th, 2008

  • Category: arak (presumably on the basis of grapes or sugar)
  • Alcohol: 48%
  • Origin: Lebanon
  • Manufacturer: Factory for Alcoholic Drinks
  • Bought at: Mesopotamian restaurant, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Arak Laytany is one of the cheapest brands available, and this is clearly reflected in the quality. It tastes very simple and even a little chemically, and I suspect it is either not made of fermented grapes (or not entirely), but on sugar or some other product. It also seems sweeter than proper arak. Better buy a different brand. 5/10.
