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.

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!

Meticulously selected black grapes of the Aegean are pressed then fermented together with the inner seeds. The Black Grape Suma attained by distillation is distilled for a second time with Çeşme’s anise seed in copper alembics. Filtered 10 times, Smyrna Black Grape Special Series is flavored with delectable aromas derived from fresh black grapes. Smyrna Black Grape Special Series, produced in limited quantity, is presented to raki lovers in its unique bottle and special packaging.

How would the ancient Greeks have made their ouzo? Certainly not with lots of sugar. This spirit reinvents an ouzo from a pinot gris grappa that is redistilled with green Moroccan anise and other spices to create a dry and complex after dinner aperitif.

The Greek summer and spirit of freedom travels to small islands drenched in the colors of the Aegean. Friends gather at beaches and the countryside, ingardens, courtyards and balconies. The summer aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle mix with the sweet sound of glasses collidin together. The senses surrender and the fun begins! And the leading role in this camaraderie… is the Ouzo.
