Metaxa 5 Stars Brandy 750ml
$29.99
Regular price $24.99Metaxa 5 Stars is a Greek amber spirit founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa in Kifissia near Athens, crafted from a unique blend of aged Muscat wines from Samos, aged wine distillates, and Mediterranean botanicals. As the entry point into the Metaxa range, sitting below the 7 Stars and Private Reserve expressions, the "5 Stars" name reflects the years of aging behind this defiantly unconventional amber spirit that stands apart from traditional grape brandies.
Bottled at 38% ABV, this luminous amber spirit brings a first bouquet of bitter orange blossom, rose petals, and apricot, followed by flower honey, vanilla, and a touch of violet. The palate is balanced with peach, apricot, raisin, and brioche, finishing generous and warm with light oak and almond.
Earning 85 to 89 points from Wine Enthusiast, Metaxa 5 Stars is best enjoyed neat, on ice, or as an aperitif in long drinks with a light mixer, making it a distinctive addition for anyone looking to explore Mediterranean spirits beyond standard Cognac or brandy.
