Salokiya Distillery
The distillery story began in 2007 when Hagai met a friend of ours in a conversation about distilling arak zakhlawi in Lebanon. Hagai, like Hagai, immediately set about the task of producing a real arak zakhlawi - the recipe had already come from Lebanon, but the distillery was just starting out, and with a quick search we found Rasen from the village of Marar, specializing in copper vessels, and thus a 150-liter Lebanese model distillery was created for distilling arak. Since then, our arak recipe has been the same. Anyone who knows Salukia arak is very familiar with the difference.
A decade later, after gaining a deep understanding of the field, we purchased a 600-liter alembic distillery from a small manufacturer in Portugal, and now Salokiya Distillery produces an interesting variety of products whose raw material is white wine from designated plots.
The flagship product is brandy aged for 8 years in old barrels of various types. Grappa made from grape skins after fermentation. Salukia gin, which is also made from grapes with local spices. Salukia arrack with an unchanged recipe.
