The first spirit was distilled in 1888 at a specially built distillery in Piraeus, the port of Athens. but officially it's a 'Greek Spirit Drink' as botanicals such as Meditteranean herbs and rose petals are added as part of the finishing process - a pot-still brandy made from native Greek grapes is aged for a nu ber of years - the 'stars' on each label determines the length of time in cask, so in this case an aging for 7 years - before marrying with aged Muscat wine and an infusion of Mediterranean herbs and rose petals for a further 12 months. There are cheaper bottles that taste better and many far better bottles for only a few more dollars/euros/pounds.Also sign me up for newsletters so I can get special offers, recommendations, and expert advice to my inbox! Old gold in colour, it reveals delicate aromas of Muscat and soft vanilla, followed by full, balanced flavours. Compared to the younger 5 Star, the additional two years of aging might not seems like it should make a difference, but boy howdy does it.

These are aged separately until Raptis chooses which parcels should then be married in Limousin oak casks for at least a year with the final addition of Mediterranean botanicals including herbs and May rose petals. To create Metaxa Five Star, Spyros started by blending the finest matured wine distillates he could get his hands on with the selected sun soaked grapes from Attica.

Metaxa is fine Greek spirit made by diluting an aged cask strength brandy with muscat wine and a recipe of botanicals including anise and rose petals. Metaxa 7 Star brandy is a truly unique offering from Greece where strong aged brandy is blended masterfully with sweet wine and a range of botanicals. Metaxa 7 star Wine Brandy is made up of wine distillates aged up to 7 years which give it a sweet and full bodied taste.

Metaxa 7 Star Brandy Metaxa 7 Star Brandy is selected by the Metaxa Master, Constantinos Raptis, the finest wine distillates are blended with the Muscat wine and placed in large French oak casks.METAXA 7 Stars is the senior expression of the METAXA style featuring longer-aged Muscat wines from the Aegean Islands and fine wine distillates matured up to seven years in oak casks. The wine distillates which make up this spirit of distinction are aged for up to 7 years to give METAXA7* a golden colour and a full-bodied, raisiny, sweet taste. I'm sure that in cocktails or as ice melt it does about as well as any other cheap liquor meant for mixing.
