Product Information

Lastly, we tried ‘School Boy Crush’ which is made with Axia Extra Dry Mastiha Spirit, Aquavit, Celery Juice and Lemon. Axia Extra Dry Mastiha is a premium, 40% ABV spirit distilled from the resin of the mastiha tree, a gnarled and twisted evergreen found clutching to the hillsides of Chios, Greece. The resin of the evergreen Mastiha tree, found on the hillsides of Chios, has been used for millennia for its sweet and floral scent and anti-oxidant properties. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. For millennia, mastic resin has been extracted from the Mastiha tree and coveted and traded for its sweet floral scent, distinctive flavour and revered anti-oxidant healing qualities. The long connection between the Royal Navy and rum can be traced back to 1655 and Vice-Admiral William Penn's expedition to the West Indies. With less calories per serve than vodka and gin, Axia keeps the unique characteristics of mastiha, but with additional velvety flavour notes of bergamot and cypress. Pearls of mastic are harvested from native trees on the island and distilled to make this herbal, fresh, slightly sweet liqueur which gives flavours of pine needles, gnocchi, imperial mint, and a touch of anise.We’ve selected the best of the best, made by us and our friends, with also a selection of cocktails, wine and barware sold or used by our sister bars Discount Suit Company and The Sun Tavern.

I particularly like the creative packaging, with both the name and bottle paying homage to the spirit’s past traditions. Pronounced “Mas – teek – ah”, it is a spirit distilled from the resin of the mastiha tree, found on the Greek island of Chios. Axia is also unsweetened, and has fewer calories per serve than vodka or gin, making it a versatile base for most classic cocktails from Margarita, Negroni to Bloody Mary. In Greek Axia means ‘value’ or ‘worth’ and the coiled snake around the bottle is a nod to Snake Island in Chios where the mastic crystals are harvested.Its palate with citrus and a dash of wood makes it a great spirit to enjoy neat over ice, I topped it with a slice of organic lemon.

It used to be worth its weight in gold during the Ottoman’s 300 year rule of Chios and generations of families continue to treasure and harvest the Mastic tree twice a year collecting resin crystals for use in food, medicine, and distilling. However, product promotions may be excluded from this rule, and cannot be combined with other promotions, coupons or offers. If you are wanting to be more mindful about your drinking, why not try Axia Spirit with London Essence for a cleaner spirit to enjoy. On the nose, it’s semi-dry with green vegetative notes of cut grass and notes of mint, anise and menthol, along with some floral potpourri, especially rose petal and dried bergamot aromas.
