Smyrna Black Grape Raki 1L

Smyrna Black Grape Raki is produced in Turkey, a country with a rich tradition in distilling anise-flavored spirits. The product reflects the heritage and craftsmanship typical of the Aegean region.

This raki is uniquely crafted using black grapes, which contribute to its distinctive flavor profile and aroma, differentiating it from traditional raki made solely from raisins or other base ingredients.

Smyrna Black Grape Raki is distilled through a traditional double distillation process. The base spirit is derived from fermented black grapes, then distilled with natural aniseed to impart its characteristic licorice aroma and flavor. The spirit is carefully blended and rested to achieve balance and smoothness before bottling.

• Appearance: Clear, crystal transparent liquid.
• Aroma: Pronounced aniseed with subtle fruity notes from black grapes.
• Palate: Smooth and slightly sweet with a warm, spicy licorice finish.
• Finish: Long and aromatic with balanced sweetness and herbal undertones.

Smyrna Black Grape Raki pairs excellently with a variety of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. Recommended pairings include:

• Grilled seafood such as calamari and shrimp
• Meze platters featuring olives, feta cheese, and cured meats
• Spiced lamb or beef kebabs
• Fresh salads with herbs and citrus dressings
• Light desserts such as baklava or fruit compotes
