Arak Jajeek Green 82 Proof
Arak Jajeek Green 82 Proof is Jordan's signature anise spirit — triple-distilled from premium grape must and infused with hand-selected aniseed, bottled at 41% ABV (82 proof) — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Arak is the Levant's classic table spirit, and Jajeek is one of its most authentic modern expressions. The Green label is the classic strength: grape must distilled three times for purity, natural aniseed for the signature licorice character, no artificial additives. Poured over ice and diluted with cool water it performs its famous louché — turning from crystal clear to milky white as the anise oils bloom.
Tasting notes (retailer copy): rich anise and sweet licorice with floral hints and subtle grapevine notes on the nose; smooth licorice balanced by mild grape sweetness and a whisper of spice on the palate; a gentle warming finish with fruity esters and a clean fade.
Why buy Arak Jajeek Green? Because it is the definitive way to taste real Jordanian arak — and nothing pairs with a mezze spread like it. Explore the spirits collection and the Jajeek brand collection.
