Make Mine a Double

One of my favourite tipples as a result of a holiday to the Greek Islands some time ago is Brandy. There are a number of producers of Brandy, it comes in various types made from different ingredients and can range in price from £10 to thousands. Now getting back to Greece the Brandy which started things off for me is Metaxa, Metaxa is produced from Savatiano, Sultanina and Black Corinth, distilled and then married with aged muscat wine from Samos & Lemnos, a secret blend of botanicals is then mixed in before finally being aged in oak casks to obtain that smooth flavour for which it is recognised.

I could go on about Metaxa, it has different ages or stars and comes in various bottles but I think I will leave that for another day!
