Created in 1888 by founder Spyros Metaxa, Metaxa is a distinct spirit category unto itself a master blend of aged wine distillates (brandy) and aromatic Muscat wines from the Aegean islands of Samos and Lemnos, infused with a secret bouquet of Mediterranean botanicals and May rose petals. The \"7 Stars\" designation signifies that the core wine distillates in the blend have matured in oak casks for a minimum of seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2. Spirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetaxa 7 Stars is crafted through a unique multi-step production process overseen by Metaxa Master Constantinos Raptis. Fine wine distillates made from indigenous Greek grape varieties (Savatiano, Sultanina, and Black Corinth) are aged in hand-crafted French Limousin oak barrels for at least seven years. Separately, sweet Muscat wines are aged and blended with a proprietary infusion of Mediterranean herbs, spices, and rose petals. The aged brandy, botanical-infused Muscat wine, and pure spring water are then married together and aged further in oak casks to allow the complex flavors to harmonize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber-gold with rich bronze and copper highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intensely aromatic, floral, and warm.
