Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Metaxa 12 Star offers a smooth, velvety experience that feels right at home in both celebratory gatherings and quiet evenings. With an ABV of 40%, this Greek spirit is crafted by blending aged brandy with Muscat wines from Samos and a secret mix of Mediterranean botanicals. The result is a drink that captures the warmth and sun-drenched character of Greece, making it an inviting choice for those seeking something unique yet approachable.
On the palate, Metaxa 12 Star reveals layers of dried fruit, orange peel, honey, and subtle spice. Hints of dark chocolate and toasted oak linger on the finish, making it an excellent companion to rich desserts like dark chocolate or savory dishes such as grilled lamb. The interplay between its sweet notes and gentle spice enhances both food pairings, creating a balanced tasting experience that highlights the spirit’s complexity without overwhelming your senses.
Producer Information: Metaxa
Metaxa is a historic Greek spirits producer based in Kifisia, a northern suburb of Athens. The company was founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, who sought to create a unique spirit that blended the richness of aged wine distillates with Mediterranean botanicals. Metaxa’s production approach combines double-distilled brandy made from Savatiano, Sultanina, and Black Corinth grapes with Muscat wines from the Aegean islands and an infusion of secret botanicals including rose petals and Mediterranean herbs. The resulting spirit is matured in Limousin oak casks to develop its signature smoothness and aromatic complexity.
Beyond its flagship amber spirit, Metaxa offers a diverse portfolio that includes limited-edition releases such as Metaxa Private Reserve and collector’s items like AEN. The brand also produces lighter expressions such as Metaxa 5 Stars and 7 Stars, catering to different palates with varying levels of aging and intensity. In addition to their core range, Metaxa has experimented with innovative blends incorporating honey or citrus infusions for contemporary cocktail applications. Their expertise extends into collaborations with master blenders for special bottlings that highlight Greek viticultural heritage while appealing to global spirits enthusiasts seeking distinctive Mediterranean flavors.

Assorted Liqueurs: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide
View All Assorted Liqueurs Products →Liqueurs are an alcoholic beverage made from distilled spirits and other ingredients including sugar, fruits, herbs, and spices. They are usually highly sweetened and un-aged beyond a resting time during manufacturing, if required, allowing their tastes to mix, and are often served with or after dessert.
Liquor, on the other hand, is sweet by nature, while liquor has a powerful taste that is everything from sweet. This word is really used to describe these sweetened spirits prepared with various tastes and extracts. One of the many reasons the two words are confused is because rum, brandy, and whiskey may all be used as a base spirit for liqueur. Liqueurs are liquors that have been sweetened and diluted. Liqueurs typically have an alcohol level of about 15% (compared to 40% in liqueurs), although they may reach up to 55%.
Liquors come in a variety of tastes, ranging from sweet and creamy to citrus-flavored and everything in between. Because many liqueurs are sweet and smooth, they may frequently be drunk without mixers or complex cocktail recipes.
