The dark amber Metaxa Grande Fine Brandy is best enjoyed neat while looking out over a spectacular landscape. Medium amber colour; floral aromas with hints of orange peel , plums, spice and vanilla; sweet notes on the palate with a long intense finish. A Metaxa made with a blend of cask brandies aged up to 80 years, aromatic Muscat wine, and delicate botanicals. There are cheaper bottles that taste better and many far better bottles for only a few more dollars/euros/pounds.

There is no need for ice or mixers; just a simple glass of Metaxa Angels’ Treasure served just below room temperature. But at the end of the process, Metaxa is blended with Greek Muscat wine plus an infusion of botanicals, including rose petals. Metaxa 7 Star Brandy in elegant Amphora bottle is made by longer-aged Muscat wines from the Aegean Islands and fine wine distillates matured up to seven years in oak casks. But the truth is, it is in a class of its own and should be considered a Greek liqueur made by blending wine, brandy and botanicals . The best Metaxa brandy is more than the sum of its parts, blended to perfection; this mix of brandy and wine is a masterclass of Greek spirits know-how.He took his inspiration for the iconic design from his grandfather, who resided in the majestic landscapes of the Cyclades ( source).

The time spent in the heavily toasted casks brings out more pronounced oaky and smoky notes to the distillates and, ultimately, to the spirit. This unique Metaxa is extra matured in oak barrels for a deeper, smoother flavour infusion packed with aromas of cinnamon, ginger, caramel and aged oak.

The rose petals are distinct, but they are balanced by modest vanilla, citrus peel, and lemon notes. To celebrate the house of Metaxa’s 130 year birthday, Master Blender Constantinos Raptis released 130 decanters of the most iconic and precious elixir, the AEN Cask No 2 – Despina.

The white in the design represents Cycladic architecture, the blue for the Aegean Sea, and the bright gold for the sun. I don't care about "smoothness", I prefer interesting whiskies and brandies (and other spirits) with some bite, but this one is neither smooth nor interesting. My experience with sipping spirits includes dozens of single malts, XO cognacs, hors d'age armagnacs, Armenian "cognacs", pisco, grappa, tequila, bourbon, rye, etc. The Metaxa Brandy Collection Star rating represents the minimum number of years the spirit has aged in the barrel.
