Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Ouzo #12 instantly transports you to a sun-drenched Greek taverna, where laughter mingles with the briny sea air and the aroma of anise fills your senses. Crafted in Greece with an alcohol by volume of 40.00%, this iconic spirit is celebrated for its bold, aromatic profile—intense licorice notes balanced by subtle herbal undertones and a lingering sweetness that dances on the palate. Traditionally distilled from carefully selected grape or grain alcohol and infused with Mediterranean botanicals, Ouzo #12 shines when served over ice, turning cloudy as it releases its complex bouquet. It’s the perfect companion to grilled octopus or creamy feta cheese, each bite enhanced by the spirit’s refreshing finish and vibrant character.
