review: Arak Massaya
July 17th, 2008
- Category: arak (on the basis of grapes)
- Alcohol: 53%
- Origin: Lebanon
- Manufacturer: Massaya &Co.
- Bought at: Le Vieux Télégraphe, Bédarrides, France (thanks Bob!)
Arak Massaya is one of the most prestigious brands of arak available, and the bottles are beautiful. The photo shows two bottles, one of the “anniversary edition” and one regular. Definitely recommendable if you have the chance to try it. The flavour reminds of herbs and licorice, and it is not sweet. Arak massaya matures six to twelve months in clay jars, which apparently gives off the licorice-like taste. 8/10.

It looks like there is an S missing somewhere: “and the bottle are beautiful”.

That is indeed the case. And since spelling is heaps important I wills correkt the tekst.
