Metaxa 12 Star is a refined and expressive Greek brandy that brings together aged wine distillates and Muscat wines from the island of Samos to create a uniquely smooth and aromatic profile. Matured in oak casks and crafted with the expertise of one of Greece's most iconic houses, it offers a richer, deeper character than the younger expressions in the range. Its elegant balance of fruit, spice, and floral notes makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a premium Mediterranean brandy with distinctive charm.

Why You'll Love It

This is Greek brandy at its most sophisticated. The 12 Star expression represents extended ageing and careful blending, creating a spirit with exceptional depth and complexity. The addition of Muscat wines from Samos adds a distinctive floral and honeyed character that sets Metaxa apart from traditional French brandies. The result is a velvety, aromatic spirit that captures the warmth and heritage of Greece in every sip.

Distillery & Production

Produced by Metaxa, one of Greece's most iconic spirits houses, founded in 1888. The brandy is crafted from aged wine distillates blended with Muscat wines from the island of Samos, then matured in oak casks. The extended ageing process creates a richer, deeper character with layers of complexity and a velvety smooth texture.

Tasting Notes

The aroma opens with sweet orange peel, dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of spice, lifted by subtle floral hints from the Muscat influence. The palate delivers layers of honeyed fruit, caramel, warm spice, and a gentle herbal note, all wrapped in a velvety texture that reflects its extended ageing. The finish is long, smooth, and delicately spiced, leaving impressions of citrus, oak, and soft sweetness.

Perfect Serve

Best enjoyed neat in a brandy snifter to appreciate the complex aromas and flavours. Also excellent over ice or with a splash of water. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, dried fruits, Greek desserts, or enjoyed as a contemplative after-dinner digestif.
