The House of Metaxa was founded by Spyros Metaxa in 1888. Often dubbed ‘smoothest spirit under the Sun,’ METAXA is the blend of aged distillates and fine, live Muscat wine from the Aegean islands. METAXA owes its celebrated smoothness to the intensely aromatic Muscat grapes grown, tended and harvested by hand, under the touch of the Aegean sun. Just like the sun, METAXA instills optimism and positive energy. It injects vitality into moments shared with friends, as well as a smooth caress in more introspective moments. METAXA is Number One in sales value in its category in Global Travel Retail according to IWSR in 2012. Strong in its home market, as well as in Germany, Austria, Russia, Central and Northern Europe, and growing in Western European, Middle East and North American markets, METAXA owes its desirability to its celebrated smoothness, recognised and enjoyed the world over.
