Makryonitis - Aged Tsipouro 20.01 500ml

The island’s microclimate has a notable effect on aging Small-scale tsipouro aged in French oak barrels that before used for Bordeaux or Vinsanto wine maturation. The barrels are burned internally before the insertion of the distillate. Aging lasts from one to many years. The year of distillation as well as the duration of the aging process is cited on the label with a four-digit number. The first two digits declare the year of distillation and the last two the duration of the aging process in the barrel. This is a pioneer idea of Makryonitis Syros Distillery. Every year we bottle small quantity of different aging level distillates to give the chance to the consumer to prove and compare the change of the organoleptic characteristics affected by the time of aging. Its unique character is also a result of the conditions of aging that are affected from the intense climate differences during the year on the island. It is an awarded product from the international competition of Thessaloniki.
