Turkey's Smyrna Raki claims a first: raki made purely from black grapes, specifically Öküzgözü ("ox's eye"), grown along the Aegean coast near ancient Smyrna, modern Izmir. The grapes ferment with their seeds intact, then undergo double distillation with anise in copper alembics and ten rounds of filtration. Expect raisin, dark fruit, anise, and licorice on the nose, softer and more refined than classic raki. Add water and watch it cloud up, then sip over ice as an aperitif.

Smyrna's Black Grape Raki offers an interesting variation on the classic Turkish spirit, incorporating black grape distillate that adds a slightly fruity dimension to the traditional anise profile. Raki lovers appreciate this expression for the subtle complexity the grape character brings. It's a worthy exploration for those already familiar with raki who want to venture into the grape-forward style.
