Description

Discover the boldest and most refined member of the METAXA family. METAXA 12 Stars is a journey for the senses, a milestone spirit that combines the intensity of aged oak with the sweet elegance of Samos Muscat.

Why METAXA 12 Stars stands out:

  • 12 Years of Patience: Every drop is composed of spirits that have patiently matured in oak barrels for at least 12 years, acquiring depth and seriousness.
  • The Art of Toasting: Barrels with medium and heavy toasting (charring) impart unique smoky notes and a robust character to the drink, reminiscent of the world’s finest aged spirits.
  • The "Soul" of Samos: The addition of select Muscat wine from Samos offers that characteristic velvety texture and floral notes that make METAXA inimitable.
  • Multi-layered Experience: A spirit for "strong" solvers, balancing between the dryness of wood and the sweetness of dried fruits.

Your Flavorful Journey:

  • Color: Bright amber with copper highlights.
  • Nose: Intense and full. Dominated by oak wood, vanilla, toffee caramel, and sweet smoke, with subtle notes of orange peel.
  • Palate: Robust, velvety, and particularly bold. Flavors of dried figs, plums, and sweet spices embrace the palate.
  • Finish: Impressively long and aromatic, with a finish that leaves notes of cocoa and spicy orange peel.

    I believe it is one of the finest drinks someone can have! Personally, I have the 5, the 7, and the 12-year-old in my cellar! Each one has its own charm and as we go up in stars, we go up in enjoyment!!!

    You should get it as a gift for Christmas!!!! We're talking about a fantastic product, only compare it to expensive MALT WHISKY, personally I would prefer it with higher alcohol content. Wonderful aromas, a bit of wood, something smoky, oak, and in the aftertaste banana and milk chocolate. It's a shame to miss it from your collection, pair it with a cigar, preferably DAVIDOFF MILLENNIUM ROBUSTO.

    I have tried the 3, 5, 7, and just now the 12. What I noticed from the very beginning is the strong sensation of alcohol, nothing like the smoothness of the 7! I will not buy it again, I will stick with the 7 which I consider superior to many other expensive bottles.

    Smooth and full of flavor to the point of addiction. 2 medium ice cubes in a low glass, you let 1 to 2 minutes pass for the anger to go away and all the aromas to come. I tried it because of the comments I read. It exceeded my expectations by far. It's not for indulgence. As a distillate of so many years, although smooth in taste, it needs a brake on the 3rd glass. Its flavor stays in the mouth for so long that you can enjoy a glass for at least an hour. Excellent product.

    Very nice drink with a unique "character", I would definitely buy it again but I find it quite light for a 12-year-old. It is easy to drink and has a pleasant taste of brandy.

    It is not whiskey. It is a Greek drink, sweet, with some complexity in taste and a short finish. I bought it for guests and to have something sweet, tasty, different, and Greek in my cellar. I definitely did not regret it for 30 euros.

    Excellent. Superior to many foreign spirits that we pay a premium for due to good marketing. Our country produces exceptional drinks that are better than whiskey and vodka. A drink that, if it had a British or Russian label, would cost double. It must be tried.
