Rakı is fundamentally different than other aniseed-based alcoholic beverages. We have a passion for quality, which brings along utilization of an artisanal & time-intensive production process.
The difference of Rakı is that it is 100% pure aniseed spirit. It is produced through a double distillation process of grapes and aniseed (native to Turkey) only, therefore the anise flavour comes from the distillation of aniseed itself, not anise extract or other subsequently-added herbs as in other aniseed spirits. While other seeds can be used in Ouzo, pimpinella anisum is a must-use content in Rakı production. Pimpinella anisum seeds are added to the alembic in order to create a unique flavour. Any other seeds than pimpinella anisum seeds may not be used in Rakı production. That makes Rakı %100 pure aniseed. Additionally; both fresh grapes and raisins can be used in rakı production. All aromatic contents are derived from the grape alcohol.
The reason lying behind the change of the colour is the balance of solubility level of the product contents. Due to some alcohol-soluble (not water-soluble) contents derived from aniseed, rakı becomes opaque when water is added.
The alcohol-water mix, containing 45% alcohol by volume, freezes at about -30 C°. If you keep Yeni Rakı at around such temperature degrees, you can observe freezing. When you keep Yeni Rakı at or below 4 C°, you can see crystallization, which is not a quality error, and when you keep it again at room temperature, it becomes normal. However, preservation of Yeni Rakı under these circumstances for a long period of time and exposure of it to different temperatures, its quality balance may be impaired.
