Hailing from Greece and crafted from sun-dried Muscat grapes, this spirit is distilled and aged before being blended with Mediterranean botanicals including rose petals and anise. Bottled at 38% ABV, it represents a distinctive Greek approach to brandy production that sets it apart from French cognac or Spanish brandy traditions.

Nose: Rose petals and orange blossoms lead the aromatic profile, followed by dried apricots, honey, and vanilla with subtle hints of sweet Mediterranean botanicals and very little alcohol presence.

Palate: Smooth and velvety in texture, delivering flavours of vanilla, fresh fruit, and gentle oak complemented by sweet wine notes and a soft, slightly woody character.

Finish: Balanced and floral, with luminous amber colour and a gentle fade that leaves lingering traces of honey and blossom.

Serve neat in a brandy glass to appreciate the full aromatic complexity, or over ice for a refreshing lighter pour. It also works well in classic brandy cocktails where its floral notes can shine without overwhelming other ingredients.

An ideal gift for anyone curious about Mediterranean spirits or brandy enthusiasts looking to explore beyond traditional French styles.
