Metaxa Zeus 12 Star Zeus Edition,, Aegean Islands, Greece

Metaxa Zeus 12 Star Edition is a limited, collector’s release of the classic Metaxa 12 Stars Greek brandy — retaining its signature Muscat sweetness and Mediterranean complexity while adding a richer, oak-driven depth and a striking bottle inspired by Zeus, god of thunder.

Appearance: Radiant amber, glowing with copper highlights — a nod to its “lightning caught in a bottle” theme.

Aroma: Opens with orange peel, dried fruit, coffee, and chocolate, layered over floral and spicy vanilla notes. The bouquet is warm and expansive, with toasted oak and subtle toffee tones adding richness.

Palate: Smooth and full-bodied, combining Samos Muscat wine sweetness with aged wine distillates and Mediterranean herbs. Expect dried fruit, orange peel, and gentle spice, balanced by a creamy texture and hints of cocoa and oak.

Finish: Long, aromatic, and elegant — lingering notes of orange zest, spice, and toasted wood.

Metaxa Zeus 12 Star Edition follows the same blend structure as the original 12 Stars:

Sweet Muscat wines from Samos — prized for their floral intensity.

Fine wine distillates aged in medium and heavily toasted oak casks, adding smokiness and depth.

Mediterranean botanicals — an aromatic elixir of herbs and spices that gives Metaxa its distinctive character.

Marriage & Ageing: The components are blended and matured under the Metaxa Master’s supervision, then bottled in the limited Zeus design.

ABV: 40%

Style: Mature, elegant, and fulfilling — a Greek brandy with a mythic twist.

Mood: Designed to “electrify the occasion” — ideal for evening sipping or as a showpiece bottle for collectors.

Design: Dark blue bottle with neon highlights that glow under UV light — a visual homage to Zeus’s lightning.

Profile Summary: Citrus fruit, stone fruit, dried fruit, floral, spicy, vanilla, toffee — a sophisticated evolution of the Metaxa 12 Stars core.
