The Story Behind Metaxa
Founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, the Metaxa brand is synonymous with quality, elegance, and the art of spirit-making. Often referred to as “The Smoothest Spirit Under the Sun,” Metaxa has become a symbol of Mediterranean warmth, combining carefully aged wine distillates with Muscat wines from the Aegean islands and Mediterranean botanicals.

Metaxa 12 Stars is the pinnacle of their expertise, a spirit that has been aged to perfection in oak casks, blending the finest Muscat wines from Samos with secret herbs and botanicals. This meticulous process ensures every bottle of Metaxa carries the essence of the Mediterranean and the deep-rooted history of Greek culture.

With its 12 years of aging, Metaxa 12 Stars stands out as a radiant expression of the brand’s legacy, ideal for those who appreciate premium, well-crafted spirits.
