Katsaros Barrel Aged Tsipouro 700ml

Product Information: Aged Tsipouro is a Greek spirit made from grape pomace, the leftover skins, pulp, and seeds from winemaking. It is typically distilled twice and then aged in oak barrels for several months to several years. This gives Aged Tsipouro a smooth, complex flavour with notes of vanilla, oak, and fruit. Bright amber colour combining chocolate and white flowers aromas. On the palate it reveals crispy plums, roasted almonds with a fresh vanilla aftertaste. This is a special spirit coming from the triple distillation of Tyrnavos Muscat grapes and it is aged for three years in French oak barrels. Aged Tsipouro is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed in cocktails. It is also a popular ingredient in Greek cuisine, often used in marinades, sauces, and desserts. Maker: Katsaros Distillery is a 4th generation, family run distillery, originally located Tirnavos and is the old distillery of ouzo in Greece. It all started in the region of Tirnavos, Greece in 1856. Nikolaos Katsaros’s cauldron of raki created a spirit of exceptional taste and unique aroma, that spirit ouzo. The original recipe that created the Ouzo Katsaros is a closely guarded family secret. Comprised of 14 herbs and seeds, cut with the crystal clear water of Olympus. Today, Katsaros Distillery is situated on a private 6000 sqm property where modern technology blends seamlessly with rich tradition.
