About Arak Brun 5 Year Special Reserve

Arak Brun 5 Year Special Reserve is a traditional Lebanese spirit crafted by Domaine des Tourelles, one of the world's most renowned arak producers. Made from estate-grown Obeidi and Cinsault grapes blended with fresh anise, this spirit is aged for five years in old clay jars using traditional three-stage distillation methods. At 53% ABV, it offers a smooth and complex profile with herbaceous anise characteristics balanced by the depth of aged grape spirits. Arak Brun stands apart in its category through uninterrupted production since 1868 and meticulous attention to traditional methods. It appeals to spirits enthusiasts seeking authentic, heritage-driven products and those exploring Mediterranean and Middle Eastern drinking traditions. Compared to younger araks, the five-year aging adds richness and refinement while maintaining the spirit's characteristic anise-forward character.
