Yeni Raki 700ml

Yeni Raki delivers bold anise flavour with a surprisingly approachable character, making it Turkey’s most celebrated spirit and a fascinating addition to any home bar. Distilled from grape spirit and infused with Pimpenella aniseed from Anatolia, this traditional Turkish raki turns milky white when mixed with water, a visual transformation that’s become part of the ritual.

Nose: Intense anise and fennel aromas with subtle grape spirit notes underneath.

Palate: Moderate anise flavour with a mellow character, some pleasant bitterness, and an intense mouthfeel that’s less harsh than many anise spirits. The alcohol presence is noticeable but doesn’t overwhelm the botanical elements.

Finish: Short to medium length with dry anise notes and a touch of sour character that fades cleanly.

Mix it the traditional Turkish way with cold water and ice for a refreshing long drink that pairs beautifully with meze. It works brilliantly in a Raki Sour, where the anise complexity balances citrus and sweetness. Try it in modern Mediterranean-inspired cocktails where you’d typically use pastis or ouzo for a bolder, more authentic flavour profile.

Serve with chilled water in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio over ice, or explore it as a cocktail base for drinks that celebrate bold botanical character.

A perfect choice for adventurous spirits enthusiasts, home bartenders experimenting with international flavours, or anyone who appreciates the anise family of spirits and wants to explore beyond the French and Greek classics.
