Product characteristics
Metaxa 12* is a luxurious, deeply matured blend created from fine wine distillates aged up to twelve years, combined with sweet Muscat wines from the island of Samos.

The finish is long and harmonious, marked by gentle warmth and refined sweetness. A sophisticated Greek spirit that balances depth, elegance, and Mediterranean soul, it appeals to both brandy connoisseurs and those beginning their journey with this noble spirit.
Serve Metaxa 12* neat or slightly chilled (16-18°C) in a snifter to emphasize its layered aromas. It is ideal as a digestif or in a Metaxa 12 Old Fashioned with a twist of orange. It pairs beautifully with fine dark chocolate, roasted almonds, or desserts like crème brûlée, and also complements aged cheeses and cigars.
