Maybe some people like the idea of a brandy distillate being diluted with sweet wine but I find the flavors actually conflict. Metaxa 7 Star Amphora is a Greek, brandy-based spirit that is produced by blending a cask-aged brandy with muscat wine and a top-secret recipe of botanicals, including star anise and rose petals, then further ageing it for 7 years.

The wine distillates Metaxa brandy is made up of are aged up to 7 years, each star representing a year's ageing.
