Metaxa 12 Stars Brandy 700ml

Metaxa 12 Stars is a Greek spirit made by marrying double pot-distilled brandy from Savatiano, Soultanina and Korinthiaki grapes with aged Muscat wine from Samos and an infusion of Mediterranean botanicals and rose petals. The blend rests in Limousin oak and is bottled at 40%.

The house was founded by Spyros Metaxa in 1888 and is owned by Rémy Cointreau. The stars are a quality rating, not an age statement. It is soft and floral, with hazelnut, rose and chocolate notes.

For an after-dinner sipper that is sweeter and more aromatic than cognac, Metaxa 12 Stars is the one to buy. For the younger Metaxa, compare Metaxa 5 Stars; for a classic cognac, try Pierre Ferrand Ambre.

Serve it neat or over a single ice cube after dinner.

Note that this is a 700ml bottle. More bottles are under brandy and cognac, and the rest of our liquor is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
