Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Greece's distinctive amber spirit, built from aged Muscat wines, aged wine distillates and a selection of Mediterranean botanicals, a recipe that traces back to Spyros Metaxa in Athens in 1888. It pours a dark honey color and opens with flowery, fruity aromatics and a gentle herbal lift. The palate is soft and slightly woody, with fresh fruit sweetness and a smooth finish that leaves a lingering warmth. At 38% ABV it is easygoing enough for someone exploring brandy-style spirits for the first time. The Muscat and botanical character also makes it a worthwhile reference bottle for collectors curious about the Greek style. It covers the whole evening: neat or on the rocks as an aperitif, lengthened with soda or tonic and a citrus twist, used as the base of an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, or poured beside baklava after dinner. We carry it because it is an honest, approachable introduction to a spirit that does its own thing, and because it is genuinely versatile.
Pairs well with
- Baklava — The spirit's honeyed color and sweet, floral notes echo the honey and nuts in the pastry.
- Fresh fruit tarts — Its fresh fruit and stone fruit character sits comfortably alongside a buttery, fruit-topped tart.
- Pre-dinner aperitif hour — Served neat or over ice, its flowery aromatics and soft, lightly woody palate wake up the appetite before a meal.
