Kinolli Distillery, Korçë: Small Batch Raki From Muscat Grapes
Korçë
Gjergji Kinolli founded his distillery in Korçë in 1999, and from the start it has made only raki. The family spent a year working out their distilling before they sold a single bottle, and they still work in small batches. We started working with them in 2024.
"Distilled in Albania, enjoyed around the world!"
Gjergji Kinolli
They make two rakis, both from Muscat grapes. Raki Moskat is clear, light, and aromatic, made from Muscat of Hamburg. Georges Raki is the same spirit after three years in French oak, golden in the glass and closer to a fine brandy. Both are some of the best raki we have tasted in Albania.
