Metaxa 5 Stars is the classic 5-star expression of Greece’s iconic amber spirit, produced by the House of Metaxa since 1888 — a blend of aged wine distillates with Muscat wines of Samos and Mediterranean botanicals, delivering dark-honey color, floral and fruity aromas, and a soft, slightly woody character at the heart of the Metaxa style.

Since 1888 the House of Metaxa has been crafting its one-of-a-kind amber spirit. At the edge of Europe in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Muscat vineyards on Samos are nourished by the sun, kept cool by the sea breeze, their roots piercing tough mineral soil. The inimitable spirit character of METAXA is crowned with Muscat wine — a noble varietal yielding wines of the highest aromatic concentration since antiquity. The finest Muscats are chosen by the Metaxa Master to blend with aged distillates, creating METAXA’s signature smoothness.
