Tekirdag Rakisi : Traditional Turkish Anise Spirit

Tekirdag Rakisi is a celebrated Turkish spirit that reflects the rich tradition of raki production in Turkey. Produced in the city of Tekirdag, this raki is crafted from 100% fresh grapes, combined with high-quality aniseeds. Known for its smooth taste and aromatic profile, Tekirdag Rakisi typically boasts an alcohol content of 45%, making it a robust yet refined spirit.

The production process involves distilling suma, which is the result of fermenting fresh grapes, alongside the carefully selected aniseeds. This mixture is distilled in traditional copper alembics, which enhances the flavor and quality of the final product. Tekirdag Rakisi is renowned for its clear appearance and intense whiteness when mixed with water, a hallmark of its high anise content.

The palate is characterized by a smooth and velvety texture, with balanced flavors that combine the sweetness of the grapes with the distinct anise character. The finish is long and satisfying, encouraging a leisurely sip.

For perfect pairing, Tekirdag Rakisi is best enjoyed with traditional Turkish meze, including grilled seafood, cheese platters, and cold dishes. It can also be consumed as an aperitif or digestive, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
