Spiros Metaxa je osnivač destilerije i prvi proizvođač čuvene metaxe. Od 1888. godine Metaxa destilerija je proizvodnju, destilaciju, sazrevanje i mešanje pretvorila u pravu umetnost.

Metaxa 5 Stars svojim originalnim dizajnom flaše i zlatnom poklon kutijom dodatno oduševljava sve ljubitelje dobrih pića i naćiće se u svakoj kućnoj ili barskoj kolekciji! There is a fruit taste to it and notes of citrus, which suggests the use of something like orange blossom or orange oil. There is also a floral taste, imparted both by the rose petals and potentially something like jasmine. Really though, it’s all speculation and no one except the few who make it know what goes into Metaxa. What Are the Different Types of Metaxa? To celebrate the house of Metaxa’s 130 year birthday, Master Blender Constantinos Raptis released 130 decanters of the most iconic and precious elixir, the AEN Cask No 2 – Despina.

This well aged brandy has strong roasted flavors of chocolate, fig, prune, butterscotch, and other tasty hints you’ll get as you sip. It is very smooth to drink and has a rich flavor and strong aroma that mix together for a very pleasing taste. Private Reserve Metaxa doesn’t hold its fame amongst the Greek people as much as it does elsewhere in the world. It’s been listed as a part of the top 3 best imported spirits in many EU countries and has won the gold medal in many international spirit brewing competitions. While it is usually the number 1 premium spirit in Greece, not as many locals drink it as they did in the past. HOW IS METAXA MADE?As with brandy, there are numerous ages of Metaxa available, from three years to 30. It doesn’t indicate this on the label — typically indicating a number of “stars” instead — and those stars don’t actually correspond to the number of years the initial brandy is kept in cask. (Rather, they refer to the number of base wines and spirits that go into each blend.) The reserve bottlings offer a little more info (and higher price tags) as they get older and older.

Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass. Serve immediately. Metaxa Manhattan year double pots stilled brandies, aromatic Muscat wine, rose petals, and fragrant herbs. Taste notes Metaxa 7 Star: Metaxa 7 Star is a premium spirit bottling made from the same blend of fine wine distillates, brandy, and muscat wines as Metaxa 5 Star. However, Metaxa 7 Star is aged in oak casks for at least seven years, which gives it a richer flavor and a smoother finish. Cheese is a versatile food that pairs well with many different spirits. Try serving some sliced cheese and grapes alongside a glass of Metaxa for an easy appetizer. Salad

GREEK METAXA WINE

Metaxa is a Greek amber-coloured spirit created in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa. Officially not brandy or cognac, Metaxa is a blend of Muscat wine and aged brandies (wine distillates) combined in Limousin oak casks. Mediterranean botanicals are added to the finishing process for additional aroma and taste. What Does Metaxa Taste Like?

A light salad is a perfect companion to a smooth spirit like Metaxa. Try pairing a simple green salad with some roasted cherry tomatoes and balsamic dressing for a delicious meal. DessertMetaxa 5 Star: Metaxa 5 Star is the flagship product of the Metaxa brand. It is a smooth, mellow spirit made from a blend of fine wine distillates, brandy, and muscat wines. Metaxa 5 Star is aged in oak casks for at least five years, and it has a mellow flavor that can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with other drinks. As a brandy, Metaxa combines local Greek wines from islands in the Aegean Sea with wine distillates that have been aging for as long as 80 years in some types. This mix of old and new wines brings together the aged aroma and the freshness of newer wine to make a refreshing blend that is bottled and sold. If you want to enjoy Metaxa on a hot day, try serving it over ice. This will help to cool the drink and make it more refreshing.

Metaxa is a very unique tasting brandy that is created and sold primarily in Greece, but is also exported to spirit lovers around the world. But what makes Metaxa so special, what do the 3, 5, 7 and 12 brands signify, how is it made and where can you buy it in the United States? What is Metaxa?

Our commitment

The manufactures don’t give up their secrets easily. What we know for certain is that no chemicals are used and only natural ingredients are added, with extracts and tinctures potentially used to potentiate the flavor of specific herbs. Another two years, another step up in taste. There is a certain complexity to Metaxa 7 that is comparable to a very good whiskey. Metaxa 12
