Regarding the Ararat Milk I also thought it was a raki ("Lions Milk") type spirit as they turn milky when water is added. As the Revenue did not seem to be interested in it I assumed it was locally brewed, perhaps from beets?
I haven't found any reference to the use of the term Ararat Milk anywhere except those directly associated with the book Moonfleet. So I wondered if the name was just one made up by the author?
