 t is distinguished as the most famous Greek spirit worldwide. It is misled as a brandy but in actual fact is something more. Thus, when we are talking about Metaxa we refer to this unique spirit and not to a brandy product.
Metaxa is produced from Savatiano, Sultanina and Black Corinth, twice distilled, married with aged muscat wine from Samos & Lemnos, blended with a secret botanical mix and then aged in hand made limousine oak casks.

n world market, Metaxa is generally available in three versions: Three Star, Five Star, and Seven Star. Each star represents a year that it's been aged in oak barrels, thus the Seven Star is the most aged and selected type. Generally speaking, it is relative easy to find the Three Star, and the Five Star in most liquor stores, but sometimes it is hard to find the Seven Star.
Concerning the Greek market, the things are better. The line of the "Metaxa" products available in the Greek market is:
- Metaxa 3star (at least 3 years old).
- Metaxa 5star (at least 5 years old).
- Metaxa 7star Amphora (at least 7 years old).
- Metaxa Private Reserve (at least 20 years old).
 here is no difference in terms of quality and production process between the different Metaxa products. As in every family, age is the only uncommon characteristic. In Metaxa family the youngest is the 3* and the oldest vintage is the Private Reserve.
It is worth to point out that other Metaxa products considered as collector items are sold only at selected shops throughout the world, including Greece.
