The lion-crest label is a fixture on Israeli tables from Purim to Shabbos afternoon. Mood: Bright, traditional, ceremonial. Sommelier’s note “A clean, bright arak, sharp anise, clean grape spirit underneath, no rough edges. Pours milky white the second water hits.” Tasting notes Sharp anise and licorice lift the nose, with a light spice underneath. Clean and bright, anise leads, warm spirit carries the middle, a soft grape sweetness lingers. Long, clean, dry, the licorice echo stays with you. Pairing Pour one part arak to two parts ice water. Perfect alongside mezze, grilled lamb, spicy salatim, or as the toast at a Shabbos kiddush.
