Alcohol experts: Arak?

[Alchemy]

Hello,

Has anyone ever come across 'Arak' at any supermarkets? Maybe you know a UK based site that stocks different of varieties of booze?

Only place I have seen it was in Jordan... No UK supers I'd have thought you would have far more luck with online suppliers, or specialist suppliers, not standard supermarkets.
I'd like to get my hands on a bottle as well...

try
www.thedrinkshop.com

no idea if they do it though. As the search function isn't very good. Unless you have a brand name.

I buy mine from a Lebanese Restaurant in Cyprus Doesn't help you much does it

If you're based in London there are plenty of shops along Edgeware road which supply really good Arak. For a recommendation Arak Touma is very very good.

The shop where I buy Chateau Musar from (a fantastic Lebanese Red wine) also sells Arak. http://www.bekaawines.com I'm pretty sure they'll deliver.

Thanks everyone.

FF, I didn't think of going to Edgeware Road. I'll try and go down there soon. Thanks.
