I live in a part of LA where Armenian goods are easily available and was wondering if -- bearing its similar geography in mind -- Armenia has its own version of the anise-flavored liqueur. Anyone know? Thanks. Sat Oct 20 13:48:49 -0700 2007 19442 jake 1 3052581 Yes, I beleive its called Arak. I am familiar with the Chateau Kisara brand as well as an Arak Brun. Both are very good.
