About this product
The Pure Expression of Turkish Tradition.
Rakı is much more than a spirit in Türkiye. It is part of a centuries-old food and drinking culture, traditionally enjoyed slowly around a table filled with meze, seafood and good company. Beylerbeyi Mavi brings this heritage to the glass through a carefully crafted expression that puts the quality of its grape spirit and the character of its anise firmly in the spotlight.
Produced by Sarper Damıtımcılık in Türkiye, Mavi is made using 100% grape-based suma, the traditional distillate obtained from fermented grapes. The spirit is combined with carefully selected Kalınkoz anise, which is infused for four days before the distillation process. It is then triple-distilled in copper stills, a more elaborate process designed to deliver purity, aromatic finesse and a beautifully balanced character.
No added sugar and no agricultural-origin neutral alcohol: just grape spirit, anise and water. At 45% ABV, Beylerbeyi Mavi offers a confident but refined expression of traditional rakı, with an expressive anise aroma, a smooth texture and a lingering herbal finish. A distinctive Turkish speciality for those looking to discover authentic rakı in Ireland.
Why we love it:
Beylerbeyi Mavi stands out for its commitment to traditional ingredients and careful distillation. The combination of grape-based spirit and fragrant Kalınkoz anise creates a full, expressive character, while the absence of added sugar allows the natural flavours to take centre stage. A beautifully authentic introduction to premium Turkish rakı.

Tasting notes
Colour
Crystal clear, turning into an elegant milky-white colour when mixed with water.
Nose
Pronounced fresh anise, with delicate grape-spirit aromas and fragrant herbal notes.
Palate
Full and smooth, with rich aniseed flavours balanced by the character of the grape distillate, finishing clean, aromatic and lingering.
Serving suggestion
Rakı is traditionally enjoyed diluted with cold water, which releases its aromatic character and creates the familiar milky-white appearance known as the louche. For a classic serve, combine one part Beylerbeyi Mavi with two parts cold water, adjusting the dilution to taste. Add ice only after the water, and serve in traditional rakı glasses.
At the table, rakı is particularly well suited to Turkish meze, grilled fish, seafood, fresh white cheese and melon. It is a drink to savour slowly, alongside food and conversation rather than in a hurry.
