Tsiakkas Aged Zivania in Commandaria Barrells
Discover the unique craftsmanship behind Tsiakkas Aged Zivania, an exceptional Cypriot spirit that showcases the fusion of tradition and innovation. Zivania, a potent, clear spirit distilled from grape pomace, has been a part of Cyprus's cultural and culinary heritage for centuries. Traditionally enjoyed as a warming drink, it is known for its strength and purity, often served neat or chilled.
What sets Tsiakkas Aged Zivania apart is its maturation process. This Zivania is aged in barrels that once held Commandaria, the world-renowned Cypriot dessert wine. The use of these barrels imparts a rich, golden hue to the Zivania and infuses it with layers of complexity, balancing the spirit’s characteristic strength with subtle notes of dried fruit, caramel, and spice derived from the Commandaria.
Tsiakkas, a family-owned winery with deep roots in Cypriot winemaking, is known for its dedication to preserving the island’s traditions while pushing the boundaries of innovation. Their Aged Zivania is a testament to this philosophy, creating a bold yet refined spirit that reflects the rich history of Cyprus and the mastery of its distillers.
Perfect for sipping slowly, this aged Zivania can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a unique addition to sophisticated cocktails. Whether you're a fan of classic spirits or adventurous enough to explore something new, Tsiakkas Aged Zivania offers an unforgettable experience in every sip.
