Metaxa Grande Fine Collector’s Edition is a luxurious Greek spirit that pays tribute to the culture, craftsmanship and artistic heritage of Greece. Produced by the House of Metaxa, a historic producer founded in 1888, this limited-edition release combines aged wine distillates, sweet Muscat wines from the island of Samos and a secret selection of Mediterranean botanicals. The result is a uniquely smooth and aromatic spirit that occupies a distinctive space between brandy and liqueur. Presented in an eye-catching porcelain decanter, this Collector’s Edition was designed by renowned Greek street artist Cacao Rocks, whose artwork draws inspiration from Cycladic architecture, mythology and the colours of the Aegean Sea. The bottle itself is intended as both a collectible artwork and a celebration of contemporary Greek creativity.
The blend contains one of the highest proportions of Samos Muscat wine used in the Metaxa range, contributing richness, floral complexity and natural sweetness. Carefully matured and married with fine wine distillates and botanicals, it develops a layered character that balances fruit, spice and oak influence. Aromatically expressive and elegantly structured, it reveals notes of dried fruits, nuts, honey and sweet spices. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, delivering flavours of honeyed fruit, nutmeg and gentle oak. A long, mellow finish completes the experience, making it ideal for sipping neat or over ice. Metaxa Grande Fine Collector’s Edition is both a sophisticated spirit and a striking collector’s piece that embodies the spirit of modern Greece.

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.
Metaxa's production process is carefully supervised by Master Blender Konstantinos Raptis. A blend of Savatiano, Sultanina and Black Corinth grapes are employed in its production. The result is twice distilled to 60% ABV using traditional copper pot stills and then blended with aged muscat wine from Samos and Lemnos.
For aromatics, a unique blend of botanicals and rose petals impart their flavours through a special steeping process, after which the spirit is married in limousine oak casks to rest. When master blender Raptis has determined the spirit is ready, it is brought to -6°C for 48 hours, filtered and bottled.
