Metaxa was founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, a man of fearless vision who set out to create the smoothest amber spirit, refusing to give up until his dream had come to fruition. Every drop of Metaxa remains true to the founder's original vision of refined, aromatic smoothness. Superior distillates aged in oak casks, noble Muscat wines from the island of Samos and a secret bouquet of herbs bestow upon METAXA 7 Stars its aromatic character.
