Axia is a clear, refreshing, & extra-dry Mastiha
- pronounced Mas-teek-a spirit distilled from the resin of the Mastiha tree found on the Greek Island of Chios. In a centuries-old, artisanal tradition, the sap is milked from the tree & left to dry in the wind. The crystals are then harvested, cleaned by h&, & shipped to the Plomari distillery. Here they are twice distilled in a process that combines the age-old art of the h&-crafted copper still with the cutting-edge science of the Master Distiller & her team.
A whole forest of aromas on the nose, brightened by more delicate scents of fresh cut grass, rose water & dried orange peels.
On the palate, earthy pine & cedar are balanced with velvety bergamot, cypress & citrus notes.
Finishing with light peppery, horseradish notes.
