Metaxa was founded in 1888 in Athens, Greece by Spyros Metaxa — a visionary who created a spirit unlike any other. Neither brandy nor liqueur, Metaxa is a unique amber spirit crafted from a proprietary blend of aged Muscat wines, aged wine distillates, and Mediterranean botanicals, delivering incomparable aromatic smoothness in every drop.

About Metaxa 12 Stars

The pinnacle of the Metaxa range, 12 Stars is made with wine distillates aged in both medium and heavily toasted oak casks. The time spent in heavily toasted casks brings out pronounced oaky and smoky notes, adding depth and complexity to the spirit’s already rich character.

Tasting Notes

Radiant amber color. Very complex character with subtle aromatic notes of toasted oak, orange peel, and spices. On the palate, spicy with dried fruit — smooth, rich, and lingering. A spirit of remarkable depth and elegance.

Beverage Tasting Institute 92 Points | Clear color. Aromas and flavors of licorice, candy-coated aniseed, dried mint, and caraway with a silky, bright, moderately sweet light body and a warming, breezy finish. An outrageously smooth and balanced anise spirit for cocktails, highballs, and more.

Possibly the highest-quality ouzo produced in Greece. The blend of aromatics used for Verino’s ouzo—though a closely guarded secret—includes Mastiha (sap from the mastic tree) in its pure, raw form; a very rare ingredient to use in ouzo.

Ouzo 7 Premium has been the famous and respected Ouzo in Greece for many years. Distilled or neat Ouzo is an alcoholic beverage commonly enjoyed as an aperitif, for example with fine Kalamata olives.
