Yeni Raki Liqueur
| Description: | Yeni Raki Liqueur Produced from Grape and Aniseed. The Balanced Harmony of Fresh Grapes and Raisins. The world's most produced and popular raki, Yeni Raki, which proudly represents a 500-year-old raki culture, is produced by processing carefully selected fresh and dried grapes from Turkey. Yeni Raki achieves perfection by adding high-quality aniseed to suma obtained from a well-balanced mixture of dried and fresh grapes. Yeni Raki, which gives a name and life to a unique culture, has an alcohol content of 45%. Raki is the unofficial 'national drink' and it is traditionally drunk mixed with water; the dilution causes this alcoholic drink to turn a milky-white colour. Food Pairing: It perfectly matches with different mezzes and main dishes of Turkish cuisine. From the first drop 500 years ago raki has been part of a proud history that is born out of a true and honest way of life. The alcoholic beverage called raki has an origin that extends back to around 2000 B.c., to Anatolias wine culture. The people of Anatolia developed and perfected a new craft over the centuries; distilling alcohol they obtained by fermenting grapes. As we explore rakis past, we arrive at the story of how their knowledge gave rise to the powerful, aniseed-scented drink we know today.* Unlike any other drink in the world, raki is a drink with an entire cuisine devoted to it. Raki serving is never a solo act. The focus of the raki table is not the food but the atmosphere of lovely conversations with friends, family, and loved ones. For further, ''The Spirit of Turkey'' and the ''Raki &Fish: A Mediterranean Seafood Odyssey'' are the perfect sources for detailed information about the raki culture. In deep economic depression due to World War Ii, The Republic of Turkey, in order to increase income flowing into its treasury, appropriated the manufacture of raki from the private sector entirely, turning it over to the government monopoly, Tekel. The same year, Yeni Raki (New Raki) was introduced. Its name is a reflection of this new period. Then, it has been banned for private producers to produce raki. Privatization laws bring Tekels 60-year monopoly on alcohol production to an end, and the market was reopened to manufacturers. Tekels alcoholic beverages division was bought by the Mey Company, established by private entrepreneurs. Due to Meys encouraging potential and continuous growth, Diageo which is the leading alcohol and spirits company, acquired Mey Diageo 2011. |
