Embark on a journey with Levant Heights, a distinguished Lebanese craft whisky meticulously crafted in the heart of Mount Lebanon by Riachi Distillery. This exceptional spirit embodies an unmistakably rebellious soul, daring to push the boundaries of whisky craftsmanship and explore its fringes.
Inspired by the robust flavors of stout beers, this whisky is crafted from highly kilned malted barleys specifically designed for stouts and black beers. Through a meticulous process of double distillation in our copper-pot gooseneck stills and aging in virgin white oak barrels, this single malt whisky emerges as a true testament to our commitment to excellence.
On the nose, indulge in the enticing aromas of toasted sesame, roasted peanuts, and delicate hints of walnuts, accompanied by the alluring sweetness of pecan pie. However, as it graces your palate, prepare to be transported to a realm of decadence with rich layers of dark chocolate, cocoa nibs, and roasted coffee beans. Subtle notes of Grahm crackers, toffee, and maple syrup dance on the tongue, offering a lingering symphony of flavors tantalizing the senses.
