Metaxa Twelve Star

Metaxa | NV | 40% | 70 cl | Greece

Metaxa Twelve Star is a distinguished Greek amber spirit, a unique blend of aged Muscat wines from the Aegean islands, fine wine distillates matured in oak casks for up to 12 years, and a secret mix of Mediterranean botanicals including rose petals. This careful craftsmanship results in a remarkably smooth and aromatic spirit.

It offers complex notes of dried figs, orange peel, coffee, chocolate, and toasted oak, intertwined with hints of honey, vanilla, and sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Elegant and fulfilling on the palate, it finishes long and aromatic with lingering orange and spice. Perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as a sophisticated base in cocktails.

Description

The inimitable spirit character of Metaxa is crowned with the gift of Muscat wine. A noble varietal, Muscat has been yielding wines of the highest aromatic concentration since Antiquity. The finest Muscats are chosen by the Metaxa Master to blend with his aged distillates, thus creating the signature smoothness of Metaxa
Tasting notes

Metaxa 12 Star is a sophisticated and highly distinctive spirit that stands in a class of its own. It offers a harmonious blend of fruit, spice, and sweetness, with a unique floral and herbal complexity derived from its secret botanical infusion. It's exceptionally smooth and approachable, making it a superb choice for sipping neat, over a single large ice cube, or as a sophisticated base in cocktails that benefit from its rich, aromatic profile.

Nose

The nose is warm, complex, and inviting. It opens with rich aromas of dried figs, ripe apricot, and orange peel, intertwined with sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove. Underlying these are elegant notes of vanilla, honey, and subtle floral undertones, particularly rose petals. Some might detect a hint of dark chocolate or coffee providing a deeper layer.

Palate

The palate is remarkably silky and well-rounded, offering a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. It delivers layers of luscious dried fruits (raisins, prunes, candied orange), complemented by the sweetness of caramel, butterscotch, and honey. The gentle spicy warmth from the oak and botanicals (nutmeg, black pepper) provides balance, alongside a subtle toasted oak character. Hints of chocolate and a distinct floral sweetness persist throughout.

Finish

The finish is long, elegant, and aromatic. Lingering notes of sweet dried fruit, subtle spices, and honeyed warmth gently fade, often leaving a pleasant echo of orange peel and a light floral touch. It's clean and satisfying, showcasing the spirit's complexity and balance.
