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.
