Metaxa 12 Star - Item Code: 09155
Discover Metaxa 12 Star:
Metaxa 12 Star is a distinguished Greek spirit that embodies a harmonious blend of aged brandy and aromatic herbs, resulting in a unique profile that captivates the senses. This expression is crafted from a selection of fine Muscat grapes sourced from the Aegean islands, which are then distilled and aged for at least 12 years in oak casks. The meticulous aging process imparts depth and complexity to the spirit, allowing it to develop rich flavors of dried fruits, honey, and subtle spices. The infusion of Mediterranean botanicals further enhances its character, creating an intriguing balance between sweetness and warmth.
On the palate, Metaxa 12 Star reveals layers of velvety smoothness complemented by notes of caramelized nuts and hints of vanilla. Its finish is long-lasting with a gentle warmth that invites contemplation. This spirit can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it also serves as an excellent base for cocktails that require sophistication without overshadowing other ingredients. With its rich heritage dating back to 1888, Metaxa stands as a testament to Greek craftsmanship and tradition in distillation, making it not just a drink but an experience steeped in culture.
Producer Notes: Metaxa
Metaxa is a famous Greek spirit known for its unique blend of brandy and wine, created in the 1880s by Spyros Metaxa in Athens. This drink is made from a mix of Muscat grapes, which give it a sweet flavor, and aged in oak barrels to develop its rich character. Besides their well-known Metaxa brandy, they also produce other spirits like Metaxa 5 Star and Metaxa Grand Olympian, each offering different tastes and aromas that reflect the quality of Greek craftsmanship. The combination of these elements makes Metaxa not just a drink but an experience that captures the essence of Greece.

Discover Assorted Liqueurs
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.
