Metaxa 5 Star is a unique Greek spirit that blends brandy with wine and a secret mix of Mediterranean botanicals. Produced by the House of Metaxa, which was founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, this spirit is known for its smooth and aromatic profile. The production process involves distilling wine from sun-dried Savatiano, Sultanina, and Black Corinth grapes, which is then aged in French Limousin oak casks. The spirit is blended with aged Muscat wines from the Aegean islands and a secret mix of botanicals, including rose petals and Mediterranean herbs. Metaxa 5 Star is characterized by its amber color, floral aroma, and flavors of dried fruit, honey, and spices, making it a versatile choice for sipping neat or in cocktails. It has an ABV of 38% and is a celebrated product of Greece.
