Zivana Loel Gold Oak Aged 50cl, 45%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Golden amber. This is an inference based on the oak ageing and retailer imagery rather than a separately published formal colour note.
Nose: Gentle oak, grape spirit warmth, and soft sweet barrel notes. This is an inference based on the French oak maturation and product style, as I did not find an official detailed tasting note.
Palate: Smooth and warming, with rounded grape character, light oak sweetness, and a fuller body than standard unaged Zivania. This is an inference based on the ageing description and category style.
Finish: Clean, warm, and gently oaky, with lingering mature grape-spirit character. This is an inference based on the stated maturation and product positioning rather than a separately published finish note.
Description
Zivana Loel Gold Oak Aged 50cl, 45% is a traditional Cypriot grape spirit from LOEL, bottled at 45% ABV in a 50cl bottle. Public product listings consistently describe it as the aged “Zivana Gold” expression, produced by LOEL and sold in Cyprus as an oak-aged Zivania-style spirit.
What makes this bottle stand out is its role in the category. LOEL and distributor listings state that in 2016 Zivana LOEL pioneered the first aged “Zivana Gold,” and that it is matured in French oak barrels for at least 3 years. That ageing gives it a more rounded, richer, and more premium profile than standard clear Zivania, while still keeping its strong Cypriot identity. The final point is an inference based on the stated ageing method and category style.
Retail listings also state that it is distilled from local grape varieties Xinisteri and Mavro. That grape base, together with the oak ageing, helps explain why the spirit is positioned as a fuller and smoother alternative to younger, unaged Zivania bottlings. The point about style positioning is an inference based on the grape varieties and the official ageing description.

This is not a rarity-led collector spirit, but it has strong shelf appeal because it represents LOEL’s aged take on one of Cyprus’s most traditional spirit categories. Its appeal comes from being an oak-aged local specialty rather than from limited-edition scarcity.
