Metaxa 7 Stars is a distinguished Greek brandy liqueur introduced in 1888 by Spyros Metaxa. Crafted from a blend of aged Muscat wine from the island of Samos, fine wine distillates, and Mediterranean botanicals, this spirit offers a harmonious balance of sweetness and complexity. The use of Muscat wine imparts a pleasant round fruity taste, while the botanicals add depth and character to the liqueur.
