Ouzo Mini comes from Mytilene Distilleries (EPOM) on Lesvos, the island that makes roughly half of Greece's ouzo and holds its own Protected Geographical Indication for Ouzo of Mytilene. 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. Add cold water and it turns a milky grey-white, the way it is poured with seafood meze on the island.
