About METAXA 5 Stars:
Smoothness revealed! A beautifully balanced marriage of fine distillates
matured up to five years in oak casks and Muscat wines from the Aegean
islands. A treat, dark honey in colour, floral, fruity, intensely aromatic with soft
oak flavours and a rewarding personality.
About the METAXA Sunball:
Considered as one of the most innovative service items for contemporary
drinks, the clear METAXA Sunball holds 4cl (1.5oz) of METAXA and lights up
upon contact with the noble liquid. A proprietary innovation of the House of
Metaxa, this service item is available in selected bars around the world. This
year marks the second Summer Solstice celebration with the METAXA Sunball.
About the House of Metaxa:
Founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, a man of taste and natural risk-taker. Since
1888, METAXA starts where other spirits stop. In a league of its own, METAXA is
the smoothest spirit under the Sun thanks to its Muscat wines from the Aegean
islands. METAXA is the only international spirit to bring together fine aged wine
distillates and these intensely aromatic Muscat wines. Smooth, aromatic and
endlessly versatile, METAXA brings a touch of Sun at the heart of your long
drinks and cocktails alike.
