Over the past few years, Greek distillers have been working miracles, with a growing number of vintners joining their ranks and bartenders using Greek spirits in cocktails, giving them their own distinctive twist. Excellent tsipouro, premium ouzo, brandy, tentura, and mastiha liqueur are now gaining an international reputation. They are leading the way for a new category in the Greek beverage business and its future is certainly bright.
At the spirits bar, you are welcome to taste some tsipouro and ouzo along with some meze, the way Greeks drink their distillates. Vasiliki Koutsovoulou, our sommelier will guide you through your tasting.
