A Legacy of Tradition

1937

It all started in Tripoli, a city in the north of Lebanon, when Toufic Cham met Australian troops post-WW1 and began serving them Arak upon their request. This moment marked the birth of Sibaali Arak.

1952

The business flourished, leading to the opening of a factory in Tripoli—a significant milestone in expanding Sibaali's reach.

1975

Before the civil war, exports were thriving. However, the conflict forced the closure of the Tripoli factory, prompting a move to Sibhel, where the factory still stands today.

1985

The legacy continued with the opening of a factory in South Africa, a major step forward. This expansion was marked by the launch of a new bottle design.

1996

Sibaali became the leading Arak producer in the region. The brand’s reputation peaked, becoming well-known for its exceptional quality and heritage.

2018

Sibaali, now managed by the third generation, continues to set the standard for premium Arak. Upholding our legacy of excellence, we remain the benchmark for artisanal Arak, ensuring the tradition of unmatched quality endures.
