Mountain Peeks Cinnamon Honey Arak (750ml)

Arak with cinnamon and honey worked into it — amber rather than clear, and sweeter and rounder than a straight aniseed arak. The label carries a hamsa and the bottle says keep refrigerated, which is not a suggestion.

Mood: Warm, spiced, golden.

Tasting notes

Cinnamon, honey and sweet aniseed. Rounded and sweet across the palate with the anise underneath the spice. A long, warming, cinnamon finish.

Food pairing

Cold and neat after a meal, or over ice. Good beside baklava, honey cake and strong coffee.
