Has anyone got some real data on the composition/preparation of Arak. I know the cheaper ones are just flavoured with Anise, but I understand the better quality ones have other botanicals?
Any advice is welcome.
TTB guidelines state that Gin's predominant flavor must come from juniper. This seems extremely open-ended. If I were to make basically an herbal liquor with juniper only making up a minuscule component of the mash/basket could it still be legally called a gin?
