review: Arak al-Rayan
December 26th, 2008
- Category: arak (on the basis of grapes)
- Alcohol: 51,5%
- Origin: Syria
- Manufacturer: Syrian Arab Company for Grape Processing
- Bought at: Harb Gmbh, Berlin, Germany
Reputedly Syrian arak is better than other araks, because of the quality of the aniseed, but this is usually articulated by (presumably slightly biased) Syrians. However it surely belongs to the better brands of arak. It has a stronger-than-usual aniseed fragrance to it, and there is no artificial sweetening. Unfortunately it is hard to come by. 8/10.
