METAXA Private Reserve limited edition, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of a timeless creation and an exceptional craftsman, goes on sale in selected airports across Europe from April.
\nIt was 25 years ago when Constantinos Raptis, the fifth Metaxa Master, released Metaxa Private Reserve<\/strong>, his first very own blend, honouring the House and the four Metaxa Masters that had come before him.<\/p>\n

This talented expert, with deep knowledge and respect for the House, knew it was about time he expressed his appreciation for the METAXA<\/a> philosophy and values in a new style: his own. Constantinos Raptis\u2019 first original creation was the beginning of a remarkable journey of excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI create MetaxaPrivate Reserve once a year, in a single batch, with blends that have reached the perfect peak of their expression,\u201d comments Constantinos Raptis.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Every drop of the dark amber spirit carries the magic of the Metaxa Master\u2019s unique offering, with blends that are selected by him only once a year. Setting them apart for their distinctive character, he creates one single batch, a numbered, limited edition of individuality and elegance.<\/p>\n

Soft hues of honey, spiced up with a hint of citrus peel and a suggestion of dried flowers, create a complex and generous drink that leaves the palate with a memory of dried fruit and old tobacco; a sophisticated creation that highlights the finest of what the Metaxa Master has to offer.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the House of Metaxa celebrates the 25th anniversary of a timeless creation and an exceptional craftsman, by revealing Metaxa Private Reserve in a luxurious revamped packaging.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Master\u2019s first original creation is now offered by him to connoisseurs of fine spirits in a new release, a decanter that pays tribute to his unparalleled talent. The new decanter is kept in an elegant gift box that protects this numbered, intimate gift. Every decanter carries on the label the distinctive mark of the Master, his signature, validating his creation.<\/p>\n
