Metaxa Ouzo
Metaxa Ouzo is Greece's iconic anise-flavoured spirit, crafted with a distinctive blend of aromatic botanicals including anise, mastic, and badiane (star anise). This classic ouzo delivers the rich, balanced flavour that has made it a Mediterranean staple for generations, perfect for leisurely sipping in the traditional Greek style. Why You'll Love It This is authentic Greek ouzo at its finest—aromatic, smooth, and deeply satisfying. The combination of anise, mastic from the island of Chios, and badiane creates a unique flavour profile that's both complex and approachable. Whether you're recreating a Greek taverna experience at home or discovering ouzo for the first time, Metaxa delivers the real deal. Production Produced by Metaxa, one of Greece's most respected spirits houses, this ouzo is crafted using traditional methods with a carefully balanced blend of botanicals. Anise provides the signature liquorice character, while mastic adds subtle pine and herbal notes, and badiane contributes warming spice and depth. Tasting Notes Clear and bright, turning milky white when water or ice is added. The nose is aromatic with pronounced anise, sweet liquorice, and herbal mastic notes. The palate is smooth and full-bodied with balanced anise, subtle spice, and a clean, refreshing finish. Perfect Serve Serve in the classic Greek manner with ice-cold water or over ice, which releases the aromatic oils and creates the signature cloudy appearance. Pairs beautifully with mezze, grilled seafood, olives, feta cheese, and Mediterranean small plates.
Ouzo Of Plomari Isidoros Arvanitis
Ouzo of Plomari Isidoros Arvanitis is a traditional Greek ouzo crafted on the island of Lesvos, where the spirit has been produced with the same care and character since 1894. It is made using copper pot distillation and a closely guarded family recipe that blends high‑quality alcohol with a selection of aromatic seeds and herbs, including anise from Lisvori, fennel, star anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This combination gives the spirit its distinctive aromatic depth and the smooth, elegant profile that has made it one of Greece’s most respected ouzos. The aroma is fresh and inviting, led by sweet anise and gentle herbal notes that rise softly from the glass. On the palate, it is smooth and well‑rounded, opening with clean aniseed sweetness before developing into subtle layers of spice and soft botanicals. The texture is silky, and when diluted with water or ice, it turns a classic milky white while releasing even more of its delicate aromatics. The finish is long, warm, and balanced, leaving a pleasant echo of anise and spice. Ouzo of Plomari is traditionally enjoyed with food, making it an ideal companion to seafood, olives, grilled vegetables, and meze dishes. It also works beautifully as a leisurely aperitif, whether served neat, over ice, or lengthened with cold water. Its authentic character and refined flavour make it a favourite for those who appreciate spirits with heritage, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place.
