Metaxa, 5 Stars, The Original Greek Spirit, 70cl, Pack of 1

Product Information

With web reports on Metaxa flavour change on also the 7 star product, it appears Metaxa has changed their product range without informing the public. The only thing you really need to know about Metaxa brandy labels is that the amount of stars on the label indicates how long it has been aged. This Amber spirit is more balanced and refined than the 5 Stars and offers fruity peach and prune flavours. Marketed as ‘the smoothest amber spirit under the sun’, Metaxa is very flavorful, with a touch of sweetness and citrus notes. While the brewery keeps the exact ingredients and amounts secret for its recipe’s sake, it’s known to include May roses and other local Mediterranean herbs that are added before aging.

The 12 is a little more expensive of course, but there’s no better place to enjoy it as this drink is cheaper in Greece than it is in any other country. In fact the success of Metaxa in Greece was one of the driving forces behind the brand’s success overall and perhaps the main reason it is now seen as one of the 100 biggest drinks brands in the world.

Officially not brandy or cognac, Metaxa is a blend of Muscat wine and aged brandies (wine distillates) combined in Limousin oak casks. The Metaxa Private Reserve is the Master Blenders’ personal blend only made once a year, while the Metaxa Angels’ Treasure is ‘what the angels have left behind’.

This stunning Private Reserve is blended from the finest brandies, Muscats, and botanicals that have reached their peak in both aroma and taste. A full-bodied but refined Metaxa with hints of dry fruits, liquorice, oak, nutmeg, honey and white raisins.Metaxa 5 Stars je izuzetno grčko alkoholno piće sa dugom tradicijom koja je prati, a kako joj i u samom nazivu stoji – pravo je piće vredno „5 zvezdica“. 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 . If you prefer your liquor to be ice cold when you drink it, add one or two ice cubes to the rocks glass. Metaxa comes in multiple variations including the 5 Star, 7 Star, and 12 Star, as well as specialty blends.
