LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

Luxurious and evocative. Metaxa captures the essence of a Greek summer evening—warm, complex, and unforgettably fragrant.

The Library Note

Created by Spyros Metaxa in Piraeus in 1888, this spirit was designed to be smoother than the harsh brandies of the era. The '7 Stars' signifies a minimum of seven years aging in Limousin oak barrels, where it develops its characteristic velvet texture and rich, honeyed complexity.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Intense aromas of orange peel, dried apricots, and sun-dried roses.

THE PALATE

Mellow and velvety with notes of honeyed raisins, toasted walnuts, and a light herbal bitterness.

THE FINISH

Long and fragrant with lingering notes of dark fruit and oak spice.
