Cornucopia 38 The Great Cornucopia Raki Tasting
 

Cornucopia 28 Raki, Ouzo and Pernod

 

Tasting notes:

Organik Efe:
A star is born. Is it that organic anis is richer, deeper or more fragrant, or organic raisins juicier than their conventionally grown cousins? Is there another bottle of this for us to sip long into the night? An efe is one who performs the Zeybek folk dance of the Aegean: this Efe has a large, confident nose followed by excellent perky, complex flavours that pirouette their way across the palate. An honourable addition to the pantheon of great rakıs.

Altinbas Raki:
A pleasant, cunning sweetness pervades each booze laden sip,
inebriation stealing towards the unsuspecting tippler like a moccasin-shod assassin.'
