Ugur Kayan creator of Anatolia gin Turkish delight. Otherwise known as lokum, is a famous Turkish sweet. Traditional lokum dates back over 500 years with the legend of its inception coming from the times of the ottoman empire. First produced in the Anatolian lands of Asian Turkey.
After years of being a treat that was a hidden treasure in Turkey, the 19th century saw an unknown British traveller discover the dessert and bring it back overseas. Failing to remember the dish best traditional name. He renamed it Turkish delight. Which is how the name coming to be. Anatolia Turkish delight gin is an enchanting infusion with the essence of the east and the spirit of the west. Rose flavours blended with the finest London gin creating a delightful floral finish.
