Metaxa Grand Fine (8-15 years of aging) is a gift option in opaque ceramic jugs. “The smells of oak, sweet spices, dried apricots and plums are guessed.” Metaxa Private Reserve (20–30 years) is the most expensive variety with some addition from the six-ton barrel “Spyros”, laid down more than 70 years ago by the grandson of the company founder, Spyros Metaxa. It is amber brandy in crystal bottles.
