Kevin Gould on assessing the relative merits of Raki, Ouzo and Pernod:
Altinbas Raki
'A pleasant, cunning sweetness pervades each booze laden sip,
inebriation stealing towards the unsuspecting tippler like a moccasin-shod assassin.'

The Great Cornucopia Raki Tasting

Cornucopia Issue 38

From Kevin Gould's 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 rakõs.
