Metaxa is the brand name of a Greek brandy spirit made from grapes. Metaxa Grande Fine is created by blending aged grape distillates and Muscat wines from the island of Samos. The first distillery built was in Piraeus, the port of Athens. Today, the company sources its grapes from the Greek island of Samos in the eastern Aegean Sea. The brand has been owned by French spirits group Rémy Cointreau since 2000.

Metaxa 12 Stars is a muscatel wine-based brandy from Greece. It was produced in limited edition, in celebration of the 115th anniversary of the Metaxa brand.

The wine distillates obtained go through an aging period of up to 12 years. The addition of extracts of rose petals and herbs gives the brandy its typical aroma. Its maturation takes place in select Limousin oak barrels.

Notes of dried flowers and fine spicy herbs rise to the nose. Aromas of coffee, caramel and chocolate combine with dried plum and orange peel. The palate is full and velvety. It is accompanied by honeyed fruit notes such as figs and plums. In addition, it has a smoky wine barrel wood character with a long finish.
