Al Naba'a Genuine Nazarene Arak (750ml)

Product Description

Al Nabaa Genuine Nazarene Arak 750ml is a traditional Levantine anise spirit curated by blackbook for its authenticity, purity, and time-honored production. Distilled in the classic Nazarene style, this arak is crafted from grape spirit and infused with natural aniseed, then carefully distilled to achieve clarity, strength, and balance.

When diluted with water, Al Nabaa transforms beautifully—turning milky white as the anise oils bloom, releasing fragrant licorice, herbal freshness, and subtle sweetness. It’s crisp, aromatic, and uncompromisingly traditional, designed to be enjoyed slowly alongside food and conversation.

At blackbook, we spotlight spirits that carry cultural heritage in every pour. Al Nabaa Genuine Nazarene Arak does exactly that—pure, expressive, and rooted in centuries of ritual and craft.
