Joseph Gold Elite Arak is a traditional Israeli anise spirit distilled by the Joseph Gold & Sons house since 1824. Clear as glass, 40% alcohol, and the pour that turns milky white the moment you add water — the Levantine ritual in a bottle.
Mood: Anise-forward, ritual, sharp.
Sommelier’s note
“The classic house arak — pure anise on the nose, clean on the palate, the milky ouzo effect the second the ice hits.”
Tasting notes
Sharp anise and fresh licorice lift straight out of the glass. Bright licorice sweetness up front, warm alcohol through the middle, a whisper of fennel and cardamom underneath. Clean and dry, with a long anise echo.
Pairing
Serve one-third arak, two-thirds ice water — the Levantine way. Perfect with hummus, labneh, grilled meats, or mezze on Shabbos afternoon.
