Metaxa 5 Star

Approachable. Warm. Sun-drenched Greek spirit.
Born under the bright Greek sun, Metaxa 5 Star captures the warmth, light, and easy charm of the Mediterranean in liquid form. Created in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, this amber spirit bridges the worlds of brandy and fine liqueur, uniting Muscat wines from the Aegean islands with aged wine distillates and secret botanicals. The result is smooth, floral, and effortlessly golden — a sip of sunshine in every glass.

The aroma greets you with sweet notes of dried apricots, honey, and orange peel, laced with soft hints of vanilla and herbs. On the palate, its silky texture reveals layers of fruit, spice, and gentle oak, flowing into a mellow finish that lingers like a warm summer evening. Metaxa 5 Star is the heart of the range — vibrant, balanced, and full of character — perfect for both sipping neat or mixing into Mediterranean-inspired cocktails.

For those in Ireland seeking a taste of the Aegean, Metaxa 5 Star offers an escape in a glass — a spirit that carries sunshine, sea breeze, and timeless Greek craftsmanship straight to your home.
