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.
