The grapes used to make Arak Ramallah’s brandy base are grown using low irrigation to enhance the concentration of flavor and harvested in September and October. Once the grapes are crushed, the juice is placed in barrels with anise and the mixture is allowed to ferment for several weeks. The resulting wine is distilled using a copper alembic, a still type which, along with Arak itself, originated in the area at the dawn of distillation. Finally, the spirit is proofed to 50% ABV.
