The ouzo is the house's tribute to its Greek heritage, based on recipes from the early 1900s. It is made with six different aromatic seeds from the Mediterranean basin, anise foremost among them, plus mastic, the resin of the mastic tree that grows only on the island of Chios, which gives it a distinctive piney, resinous lift that sets it apart from many ouzos. It is bottled at 40% ABV. Like all good ouzo, it is crystal clear in the bottle and turns milky white and opaque when it meets ice or water, as the anise oils come out of solution. The house describes a semi-sweet, velvety, balanced palate, with aromas of aniseed, licorice, iris flower, and a sea-breeze note, and a clean, crisp finish where the mastic lingers. Serve it the Greek way, in a tall glass with ice and cold water alongside a plate of mezedes, grilled octopus, feta, and olives, or try it in a Santorini Spritz with sparkling wine and lemon soda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Metaxa Ouzo online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":25388301647972,"sku":"C0001469L","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Mexta.jpg?v=1553025375"},{"product_id":"ouzo-12","title":"Ouzo 12 Greek Ouzo","description":"\u003cp\u003eOuzo 12 is one of the oldest ouzo recipes still in production. The Kaloyannis brothers first distilled it in Constantinople in 1880, and their regular customers kept asking to be poured from the same cask, barrel No. 12, until its contents became the house standard and gave the ouzo its name. The family moved production to Thessaloniki in 1925, and around 1950 in Piraeus Ouzo 12 became the first ouzo bottled in the traditional karafaki, the small carafe shape still used today. Gruppo Campari has owned the brand since 2004. It is distilled from grape must and neutral spirit with anise seed, fennel, star anise, coriander, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon, double-distilled in copper pots with more herbs added before the second run, and bottled at 38% ABV. Poured neat it is clear, with sweet licorice, fennel and warm spice on the nose and a smooth, medium-bodied palate that finishes clean on anise. Add cold water or ice and the anethol from the anise turns it milky white, the classic way to drink it in Greece, alongside meze like grilled octopus, olives, feta, calamari and sardines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Ouzo 12 Greek Ouzo online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":25388410273892,"sku":"C0001470L","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Ouzo_12Year.jpg?v=1553025509"},{"product_id":"romios-ouzo-arak","title":"Romios Ouzo Arak","description":"","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":25388729729124,"sku":"C0001473L","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Romo_Ouzo.jpg?v=1553026307"},{"product_id":"katsaros-ouzo","title":"Katsaros Ouzo","description":"\u003cp\u003eKatsaros Ouzo comes from Tyrnavos in Thessaly, a town in central Greece long known for its distilling tradition, where the Katsaros family has been making ouzo since 1856. The family credits their ancestor Nikolaos Katsaros with pioneering the distillation of ouzo in that era, and four generations later the distillery still works from the original recipe. Today it operates from a 6,000-square-meter facility on the Tyrnavos-Larissa road, pairing handmade copper stills with modern stainless steel tanks, and its flagship is Ouzo Tirnavou. The family's range also includes tsipouro, the grape-pomace spirit Tyrnavos is equally famous for, aged tsipouro, and liqueurs. Katsaros has been sold in Greek duty-free shops since 1992 and now exports to more than 25 countries, and the house has collected medals over the years from the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, ISW in Germany, and competitions in Hong Kong. Serve it the Greek way: poured over ice or with a splash of cold water, which turns the clear spirit cloudy white as the anise oils come out of solution, alongside a plate of mezedes such as grilled octopus, olives, and feta.

The company was formed in 1967, when seventeen family ouzo producers on the island agreed to pool their know-how and sell a single shared brand, Mini. Pernod Ricard took a majority stake in 1996, with the founding families keeping a share. The recipe draws on what the eastern Aegean grows best: aromatic herbs from Lesvos itself, aniseed grown in Lisvori, and mastic resin from neighboring Chios, distilled in traditional copper pot stills and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Lesvos ouzo is consistently among the best sellers in Greece, and Mini is one of the island's three big names alongside Plomari and Varvagianni. In the glass it is crystal clear, with a clean licorice nose and a hint of cardamom; the palate is dry licorice with a subtle spicy, slightly bitter edge, and aniseed takes over on the finish.
