Metaxa 5 Star Brandy Greek Liqueur 750 ml

Metaxa 5 Star is a Greek spirit blending aged wine distillates with Muscat wine from the Aegean islands and a secret infusion of Mediterranean botanicals — a recipe the Metaxa family has kept largely unchanged since 1888. It doesn't meet the EU's strict definition of brandy or cognac, which is why it's labeled simply as a spirit rather than either, though it's often shelved alongside brandy. Expect a sweet, fruity nose, a rounded, mellow palate of dried fruit and light spice from the wine and botanicals, and a smooth, warming finish. Bottled at 40% ABV, it's built as an easy, approachable sipper, popular across Greece as a digestif and mixed into simple highballs.

How to drink Metaxa 5 Star

Serve it over ice as Greeks often do, or mix it with cola for a Metaxa and Coke. Neat works too, but it's built more for easy, casual drinking than serious sipping.
