METAXA

Buy Metaxa in Chisinau – The Unique Greek Spirit with Delivery

Metaxa is neither a brandy nor a cognac; it is a one-of-a-kind amber spirit, rightfully called "the soul of Greece." Founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, the brand quickly gained recognition across European royal courts and eventually the entire world. The story began in Piraeus, where Spyros, coming from a family of silk merchants, sought to create a spirit of incredible smoothness and intense aroma, contrasting the harsh distillates of the era. The brand’s emblem, the "Salamina Warrior" – an ancient coin found during the construction of the first distillery – still adorns every bottle today, symbolizing its deep roots in Greek tradition.

The Secret of Production: The Art of the Blend

Metaxa’s uniqueness lies in its complex production process, which has no equivalent in the spirits world. It is crafted from three key components:

1. Grape Distillates: Made from three grape varieties (Savatiano, Sultanina, and Black Corinth), twice distilled, and aged in French Limousin oak casks.
2. Muscat Wines: Sourced from the islands of Samos and Lemnos, providing sweetness and body.
3. Secret Botanical Infusion: The final touch is an extract of Mediterranean herbs and May rose petals, giving Metaxa its signature floral profile.

The "stars" on the label indicate the minimum years the distillates have spent aging in oak barrels.

• Metaxa 5 Stars (40%): The most versatile expression, featuring a bright golden color and aromas of orange blossom and apricot. It is smooth on the palate with hints of vanilla – great for cocktails or on the rocks.
• Metaxa 7 Stars (40%): A more sophisticated spirit presented in an "Amphora" bottle. Seven years of aging bring out notes of nutmeg, dried plums, and honey.
• Metaxa 12 Stars (40%): The pinnacle of the core range, crafted from distillates aged up to 12 years. Expect a complex bouquet of toasted oak, orange peel, and coffee. Best enjoyed neat as a digestif.
