These are aged separately until Raptis chooses which parcels should then be married in Limousin oak casks for at least a year with the final addition of Mediterranean botanicals including herbs and May rose petals.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.
