METAXA 7* ORIGINAL GREEK SPIRIT BRANDY 0,7L

What is Metaxa 7* Original Greek Spirit?

Metaxa 7* Original Greek Spirit is a unique drink originating from Greece, combining elements of brandy, muscat wine, and carefully selected herbs, resulting in a smooth and rich flavor. Its history dates back to 1888, when Spyros Metaxa – a Greek entrepreneur and lover of fine spirits – created a unique recipe that remains the foundation of Metaxa production to this day.

Metaxa 7* is one of the more well-known versions of this drink, and the number “7” refers to the average age of the distillates used in the production process, which mature in oak barrels for at least seven years. This aging gives the drink depth, smoothness, and a distinctive golden hue. The aroma of Metaxa 7* features notes of dried fruits, honey, vanilla, and lightly spiced hints that transport the taster to the Mediterranean sun.

This spirit is popular not only in Greece but around the world, as a symbol of Greek craftsmanship, passion, and tradition. It’s important to note that Metaxa is not classified as a typical brandy or cognac – it's a separate category of spirit, the result of a unique combination of ingredients and meticulous attention to every production stage. For many connoisseurs, Metaxa 7* is not just alcohol, but a cultural experience that reflects the richness of Greek history, nature, and the art of soulful spirit-making.
