About the House of Metaxa
METAXA was founded in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa, a man of taste and a natural risk-taker. In 1888, METAXA set out to start where other spirits had stopped. In a league of its own, METAXA is the smoothest spirit under the sun, thanks to its Muscat wines from the Aegean islands. METAXA is the only international spirit to bring together fine aged wine distillates and these intensely aromatic Muscat wines. Smooth, aromatic and endlessly versatile, METAXA brings a touch of sun into the heart of your long drinks and cocktails.
