Ouzo Kazanisto 46% 200ml

Stoupakis Ouzo Kazanisto 

Not just another ouzo, it is a true expression of Chios tradition, craftsmanship, and the timeless ritual of Greek drinking culture. Crafted by the historic Stoupakis Distillery on the island of Chios, this exceptional ouzo captures the unmistakable aroma of Chian anise in every drop.

Distilled slowly, drop by drop, in traditional copper stills known as kazania, Kazanisto takes its name directly from the centuries-old distillation process that defines its character. The result is a beautifully refined and aromatic spirit that feels both authentic and modern at the same time.

Unlike many commercial ouzos, Stoupakis Kazanisto contains no added sugar, allowing the purity of the distillate, the quality of the anise, and the carefully selected aromatic herbs and seeds to truly shine. The palate is rich, smooth, and layered, opening with vibrant anise before revealing delicate herbal complexity, soft spice, and a clean, lingering finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

This is an ouzo designed for those who appreciate depth, character, and tradition, a spirit with a beautifully bold Mediterranean personality and remarkable balance.

Best enjoyed the Greek way, served ice cold with water, shared over long lunches, seafood, grilled octopus, salty meze, and conversations that stretch into the afternoon. One sip instantly transports you to the Aegean, the sea breeze of Chios, and a table filled with good company.

About the Family 

Since 1896, the Stoupakis family has been crafting exceptional spirits on the island of Chios, building a legacy rooted in tradition, passion, and authenticity.

It all began with Ioannis Stoupakis, a father of seven, who set out with a simple cauldron and a vision. In Dafnonas, his hometown, he began producing ouzo using a unique recipe centred on Chios anise an ingredient that would define the character of the family’s distillation for generations. His ouzo quickly gained a reputation across the island, and by 1900, he had secured an official distillation licence, establishing one of the region’s earliest recognised distilleries.

The tradition was carried forward by the second generation, and in 1990, the founder’s grandson, Giannis Stoupakis, revitalised the family legacy by introducing and trademarking the iconic “Kazanisto” ouzo, celebrating a traditional, small-batch distillation method that remains true to its origins.

In 2008, the distillery entered a new era as Stoupakis Chios Distillery S.A., with modernised facilities designed to enhance production while preserving traditional techniques. Today, the distillery stands as a perfect balance of heritage and innovation.

While best known for its distinctive ouzo, the Stoupakis distillery produces a broader range of premium spirits and traditional products, all crafted with the same dedication to quality and authenticity. Each expression reflects the rich terroir of Chios and the expertise passed down through generations.

With state-of-the-art facilities, traditional copper stills, and a dedicated quality control laboratory, every step of production is carefully monitored to ensure consistency and excellence. The result is a portfolio of products that honour the past while embracing the future.

More than a distillery, Stoupakis is a story of family, resilience, and craftsmanship—bringing the true taste of Chios to those who appreciate the genuine.
