“A Greek Spirit of Remarkable Depth and Smooth Elegance”
Metaxa 12 Stars is the pinnacle of the Metaxa range—a luxurious Greek brandy-like spirit that blends aged wine distillates with sun-dried Mediterranean grapes and a secret bouquet of botanicals. Matured in French oak casks for up to 12 years, it offers rich complexity, smooth texture, and an unmistakable warmth that reflects its Aegean origins.

Aging: Up to 12 years in Limousin oak barrels
