Flavor & Character

Aroma An intense, fresh bouquet led by the powerful aroma of anise. Subtle notes of dried figs, raisins, and a light spiciness recall licorice and fennel.

Taste The mouthfeel is full and silky smooth. On the palate, a rich burst of anise is beautifully balanced by the gentle sweetness of grapes. Despite the solid alcohol content, the drink feels harmonious and warming.

Finish A long, lingering finish. The refreshing taste of anise stays on the palate and leaves a clean, lightly sweet impression.

Serving Tips & Pairings

• Preparation: Serve in a tall, narrow glass. Pour the raki first, then add ice-cold water, usually at a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio, and add ice cubes last to preserve the balance.

• Food Pairing: Essential with a generous selection of meze, Turkish appetizers. Pairs beautifully with creamy feta, melon, grilled octopus, hummus, and warm barbecue dishes.

• Temperature: Always drink Yeni Rakı well chilled. Serve a glass of cold water alongside it to refresh the palate between sips.
