METAXA HONEY SHOT is a new expression of the smoothness of METAXA 5 Stars, combined with the aromatic intensity of Greek Honeyfrom the mountains of Peloponnese

Where does the honey come from?

Collected in the Northern Peloponnese, in the area of Egio, at an altitude of 800 meters, and made from the flowers of fir, chestnut, wild apple, hawthorn and wild roses, the honey used in the METAXA Honey Shot is complex, dark and generous, with a slightly smoky edge. The honey has been selected by the Metaxa Master, from the same mountains of Peloponnese, where he sources the May rose petals for his secret bouquet.

QUANTITY OF HONEY IN METAXA HONEY SHOT
The content of real honey in METAXA HONEY SHOT is 0.5%. This “shot” of real honey gives a pleasant nose with a perfect balanced taste between the smoothness of METAXA and honey flavor.

Metaxa 5 Star is a tribute to the art of winemaking, a combination of cask-aged brandy and muscat wine, blended with a traditional recipe of herbs and botanicals, including star anise and rose petals, which is then aged for 5 years. The flavour is bright and lively, with a floral nose of orange blossom and rose, followed by a palate of fruity peach, apricot, raisin and brioche. Yes, brioche. So if you’ve never tried this one before, enjoy it first on the rocks before you dare to mix.

Once a year, the Metaxa Private Reserve is manufactured according to an old family recipe from the Spyros Metaxa family, crowning their work. But the winemaker Constantinos Raptis married well-matured muscatel wines with handpicked wine distillates that matured for at least 30 years in the Metaxa cellars.
