Distillery Information
The lands surrounding the ancient Lycian town of Araxa provide ideal growing conditions for super botanicals. Lycian farmers began cultivating the area as early as 500 BC, and botanicals rapidly became a key crop. Manuscripts discovered in the tomb of a local king reveal a culture familiar with the secrets of growing rare botanicals. The flavours of Araxa have been treasured by different cultures for thousands of years. Now part of the Anatolian Peninsula in modern Turkey, the farmlands of the Lycian plateau are as fertile today as they have ever been. Three factors come together to create perfect conditions for growing super botanicals.
