What it is

The crystal of Zumot: Arak Haddad — Jordan's famous arak (the Zumot family's Eagle Distilleries, since 1951), triple-distilled from Jordanian grapes and Syrian-region anise, the standard bottle of Jordanian celebrations — plus Jordan's young wine scene (the Zumot Saint George and Jordan River wines from Mafraq's basalt soils). Origins: the Zumot winery/distillery story began in 1951 (one of the Arab world's pioneering family houses); arak is the Levant's shared heritage, Jordan's bottling its most organised. Made from: grape spirit and aniseed (arak); Mafraq grapes (wines). How it's made: 1) Distil the grapes. 2) Anise distillation; rest in clay for the fine arak. 3) Serve milky over mezze. Served: at Amman celebrations, with mansaf feasts nearby. Flavor: anise-clean, grape-sweet core. Strength: arak 50%. Culture: a bottle of Haddad at a Jordanian wedding is as required as the dabke.
