Ouzo

In the early 1900s, the Metaxa distillery was in Piraeus and, like other distilleries of the time, created different styles of alcoholic drinks. Among them, the most popular Greek aperitif: Ouzo. OUZO by METAXA is based on the original recipe of that time, which includes different aromatic seeds of the Mediterranean basin and the rare mastic of Chios island.

Famous traditional Greek spirit of highest quality with anise taste made with addition of different herbs. Fresh aromas of aniseed and herbs; light to medium-bodied, quite fresh, it ends with clean, lightly sweet flavors of anise.

FOS is a brand of Greek spirits and wines offered as heritage spirits of Grecian culture. FOS Mastiha is a particular style of Greek liqueur made with the sap of the "Crying Tree" or Mastiha tree. In this case, the Mastiha "tears" (crystalized tree sap" are hand-harvested on the island of Chios and provide 100% of the flavor for a pure style of mastiha liqueur.

A singular distillate whose cherished secret, Chios-grown anise, leads you to a burst of flavour and the lingering luxury of the perfect taste. Stoupakis Ouzo Kazanisto takes its name from the traditional copper stills (kazania) where it is distilled drop by drop under ideal conditions, continuing Chios’ tradition in taste and flavour. Drop after drop, Stoupakis Ouzo Kazanisto spells one word: heavenly perfection!

Our Ouzo is made in the southern Greek tradition using star anise, anise seed, and licorice root. By using star anise as the primary ingredient, we produce a softer, naturally sweet spirit that allows for minimal addition of sugar. Do as the Greeks do and enjoy it as an apertif. We like it with the main course and dessert, too! Tasting notes: Licorice, Licorice, Licorice!
