Metaxa Ouzo : The Iconic Grecian Elixir

Metaxa Ouzo is a distinguished Greek spirit that captures the essence of Mediterranean flavors. Crafted from a traditional recipe dating back to the early 1900s, this unique anise-flavored aperitif is made using six botanicals sourced from the Mediterranean basin, including the rare and precious Mastiha resin from Chios island. This authentic ingredient adds a distinctive character, enhancing the spirit’s complexity and aroma.

Distilled in small batches using 100% copper stills, Metaxa Ouzo is produced with meticulous care to ensure the rich flavors are preserved. The result is a spirit that is both aromatic and refreshing, with a crisp, clean taste profile. Bottled at an alcohol content of 40% by volume, it is celebrated for its balance and smoothness.

On the nose, Metaxa Ouzo presents a dominant aroma of anise, complemented by subtle notes of fennel and licorice. The palate is smooth and slightly oily, with an initial burst of strong anise flavor followed by mild sweetness and herbal notes. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving lingering hints of mint and eucalyptus that enhance its drinkability.

For perfect pairing, Metaxa Ouzo is best enjoyed chilled, straight, or with a splash of water, which transforms it into a milky white drink. It pairs beautifully with Mediterranean mezze platters featuring olives, feta cheese, grilled seafood, or spicy dishes, making it an ideal choice for warm weather gatherings.
