Since 1888, the House of Metaxa is on a journey to offer a one-of-a-kind amber spirit. Experience the unique taste of Muscat wines from Aegean Islands, aged wine distillates and Mediterranean botanicals for an intense smoothness. METAXA 12 Stars is made with wine distillates in both medium and heavily toasted oak casks. The time spent in the heavily toasted casks brings out more pronounced oaky and smoky notes to the distillates and, ultimately, to the spirit.
