Metaxa Grande Fine Collector's Edition 700mL

Metaxa Grande Fine Collector's Edition

Greek Specialty Spirit / Brandy Liqueur | Muscat Wine, Wine Distillates & Mediterranean Botanicals | Cacao Rocks Porcelain Decanter | 40% ABV / 80 Proof | 700mL

Process & Profile

Metaxa Grande Fine Collector's Edition brings together the House of Metaxa's mellow amber spirit and an expressive porcelain decanter by Greek street artist Cacao Rocks. The presentation draws on Cycladic architecture and mythology, translating Greece's visual character into blue, white and gold. It is a distinctive bottle for collectors and a thoughtful choice for someone who enjoys exploring Greek spirits.

The liquid combines sweet Muscat wine, fine wine distillates and Mediterranean herbs and botanicals. These components are married into a dark amber expression with dried-fruit richness, oak and warm spice. Rather than treating it as a conventional grape brandy, approach Grande Fine as Metaxa's own combination of wine, distillate and aromatic ingredients.

At 40% ABV, its fuller flavors are balanced by a mellow delivery and a sustained honeyed-fruit finish. The collector's presentation provides the visual impact, while the spirit inside invites an unhurried tasting. This edition carries no numerical age statement in this listing; the collector's designation refers to its artistic presentation.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Gentle oak, dried plum, white raisins and liquorice.
• Palate: Dried fruit meets nutmeg, oak and honeyed notes.
• Finish: Mellow and sustained, with honeyed fruit and a final touch of spice.

What Makes It Special

• Cacao Rocks collector's design: A porcelain decanter inspired by Greek island architecture and symbolism.
• A distinctively Greek composition: Muscat wine, wine distillates and Mediterranean botanicals come together in one spirit.
• Rich yet mellow character: Dried fruit, oak and spice create a layered sipping profile.
• Art beyond the label: The decorated porcelain vessel makes the bottle itself part of the experience.
• 80-proof strength: Enjoy the expression neat or explore it with a little ice.

How to Enjoy

Begin neat in a tulip-shaped tasting glass. Let the pour rest briefly, then bring the glass gently toward your nose before taking a small sip. Avoid warming the bowl excessively in your hand so you can explore the fruit and spice without pushing the alcohol to the foreground.

For a cooler serve, pour over one large ice cube and notice how the balance changes with gradual dilution. As pairing suggestions, try dried figs, toasted nuts or a modest piece of dark chocolate. Grande Fine also works as an after-dinner pour when the bottle's artwork can be appreciated alongside the spirit.
