Tekirdağ Rakısı Göbek Raki 700mL

Tekirdağ Rakısı Göbek Raki is a premium Turkish anise spirit crafted from carefully selected fresh Anatolian grapes and distilled in traditional copper pot stills. Produced in Turkey by Mey Alkollü İçkiler and bottled at 45% ABV, this exceptional raki highlights the prized “Göbek” cut — the heart of the distillation process known for delivering the smoothest and most refined flavor profile.

Made using 100% fresh grapes, Tekirdağ Göbek offers a luxurious and authentic Turkish drinking experience with remarkable balance, elegance, and aromatic complexity. The term “Göbek,” meaning “belly” in Turkish, refers to the most desirable middle portion of the distillate, prized for its purity and softness.

Expect delicate aromas of anise, fresh herbs, grape sweetness, and subtle floral notes layered over a silky mouthfeel. Traditionally enjoyed diluted with cold water and served alongside Turkish meze, seafood, grilled meats, and Mediterranean cuisine, Tekirdağ Göbek transforms into the iconic milky-white appearance known as “lion’s milk.”

Smooth, refined, and deeply rooted in Turkish tradition, Tekirdağ Rakısı Göbek is ideal for both experienced raki drinkers and those exploring premium Mediterranean spirits.
