The Standard of Tradition
Elite Arak is globally recognized for its iconic label and unalterable quality. Produced by **Elite Distillers**, this spirit is made following a distillation process of white grapes which is then flavored with the purest anise seeds. Unlike other aniseed beverages, Elite maintains a dry and potent profile, designed to be diluted and shared. It is the quintessential drink to accompany "Mezze" and celebrate life with the characteristic freshness of the Levant coasts.
