    Metaxa 7 stars is a generous Greek spirit, the 7 stars represents the 7 years of ageing of this delicate but bold brandy. Imagine pronounced florals, marmalade and plum fruit, gently spiced with black pepper. Lots to love.

    Metaxa 7 Stars is a blend of three ingredients, a double pot still brandy made from wine produced from Savatiano, Soultanina and Koritnthiakos grape varieties, aged a minimum of seven years in Limousin oak casks. Aged aromatic Muscat wines from the Aegean Islands of Samos and Lemnos, and last but not least an infusion of Mediterranean herbs and May rose petals. The final blend is married in oak barrels for one year before being chilled filtered and bottled.

    Old gold in colour, it reveals delicate fruity aromas, followed by full, balanced flavours. Metaxa 7 Stars’ fruity and generous character is best explored neat, on ice or in cocktails.

    Metaxa

    It all begins with Spyros Metaxa who built his first distillery in 1888 in Piraeus, in the port of Athens. Being raised in a family of silk merchants, he was an adventurer and a man of exquisite taste. As he travelled around the world, he discovered many different spirits and wines. However, he found that spirits of the time tended to be harsh on the palate and with no great aroma or character. So, he began to dream of crafting a unique spirit that was as smooth as it was intense. A spirit that would journey through the senses. By 1888 Spyros Metaxa creates METAXA, the Original Greek Spirit, and soon enough this very spirit began to be exported around the Mediterranean and the later the world-wide.
