LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A truly unique botanical experience. Its woodsy sweetness is an acquired taste that quickly becomes addictive.

The Library Note

The 'tears of Chios'—hardened sap from the mastic tree—are the heart of this ancient spirit. Once more valuable than gold, the resin is distilled with high-quality grain alcohol to create a drink that has been celebrated for its digestive properties since the time of Hippocrates.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

A distinct, ethereal aroma of pine needles, cedar wood, and sweet herbs.

THE PALATE

Luxuriously sweet and silky with a clean, woodsy flavor reminiscent of mastic and cucumber.

THE FINISH

A cooling, long-lasting finish that leaves the palate feeling remarkably refreshed.
