Arak Tini -Fig Boğma Raki- (Incir Rakisi), Triple Distilled Madeira Cask Finish

SILVER Series:

The classic traditional traditional fig raki “Arak Tini” Samandag (ancient town Seleucia Pieria district of Hatay Province in Turkey) with 44% ABV is made by Draco Spirit distillery according to the principle of purity and old traditional recipes.

Boğma Raki was made from dried figs with a blend of fresh figs and then Distilled once again with Turkish aniseed, according to old tradition, without any additives (i.e. without agricultural ethyl alcohol and sugar).

During the maceration process, the fig must is fermented with the natural yeasts found in the fruit skins; no external industrial yeast is used. Characteristically, the fermentation process takes place in stainless steel vats at low temperatures.

Before bottling, the wine is aged for at least three months in Madeira casks. Distillation takes place entirely in handcrafted, traditional pot stills with a maximum capacity of 300 liters. Triple distillation is used. The main feature that distinguishes Draco Spirit Bo ğ ma Raki from industrial raki from Turkey is the natural fermentation process and the use of traditional pot stills (Alambik).

The inspiration for this FIG RAKI comes from the illustrious island of Madeira and its famous Madeira wine. Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean, has a rich history of producing exquisite fortified wines that have graced the tables of connoisseurs for centuries. What makes this inspiration even more exclusive is the fact that there are only seven vineyards on Madeira. And each vineyard contributes to the island's reputation for exceptional wine production.

It is in the barrels from the hallowed halls of Madeira's wine cellars that this Raki undergoes its transformation over a period of three months. Maturation in Madeira barrels that previously held these revered wines imparts a kaleidoscope of flavors to this RAKI. It adds distinctive notes such as warming wood spices and stewed peaches, and enhanced fig aromas with floral notes. Madeira barrels are the perfect match for our exceptional product.

Draco Spirit Boğma Raki is made entirely in the Netherlands in a traditional way and complies with the Alcohol and Spirits Production Act (EU) 2019/787.
