Metaxa 5 Stars 38% vol. 0.7 litre is one of the best-known bottlings of the traditional Greek brand Metaxa and stands for the characteristic combination of brandy, muscat wines from the island of Samos and selected herbs and botanicals. This special composition makes Metaxa a Greek spirit in its own right, which is clearly different from classic brandy or cognac. Metaxa 5 Stars is produced according to a traditional recipe in which carefully distilled wine distillates are matured for several years in oak barrels before being refined with aromatic Muscat wines from Samos and a secret blend of herbs.

This special production process creates a harmonious and accessible Greek spirit that is appreciated for its balanced combination of fruitiness, sweetness and subtle spicy notes. At 38% vol., Metaxa 5 Stars is pleasantly smooth and round, making it suitable for use both neat and in numerous cocktails and long drinks. The combination of matured wine distillates, muscat wine and botanicals gives this bottling its unmistakable character and makes Metaxa one of the best-known spirits from Greece.
