Metaxa is a special Greek spirit invented
by a silk trader named Spyros Metaxas. This
happened in 1888 in Attica region, the province
of Athens. Since then, the product has earned
world recognition for its quality, color
and taste.
The product has been
marketed very well all around the world and
became famous creating a very large number
of dedicated lovers.
Expressions of admiration
and adjectives like "The Elixir of Life",
"The Nectar of the Gods", "The
Blessed Spirit" accompanied Metaxa from
its birth, till this very day!
With such a world recognition,
it is not strange that Metaxa is subject
of a kind of hysteria worldwide concerning
its supply. This "hysteria" is
amplified by the fact that some types of
Metaxa are very difficult to find or are
found only at selected shops around the world.
A few of them are: Metaxa Centenary, Metaxa
Rhodes, Metaxa Golden Reserve, Metaxa Grand
Olympian Reserve, and Metaxa Golden Age.
All these types were bottled on special occasions
from selected old oak barrels that are kept
in Metaxa storage facilities.
It is real that Metaxa
is one of the most well recognised brands
in the world.
