Mastiha Liqueur Makryonitis 500ml

Experience the legendary flavours of ancient Greece with Mastiha Liqueur Makryonitis, a distinguished 500ml bottle crafted with authentic mastic distillate from the exclusive island of Chios. This premium Greek liqueur showcases balanced sweetness, remarkable complexity, and exceptional depth of flavour at 20% alcohol content.

The heart of this exceptional liqueur lies in genuine Chios mastic distillate (mastic oil), produced through traditional steam distillation of precious mastic resin. This natural product contains an exquisite variety of aromatic and therapeutic substances that have been treasured since ancient times. The mastic resin is carefully extracted from the trunk and branches of mastic trees (Pistacia lentiscus) that thrive exclusively in southern Chios, making this ingredient truly irreplaceable.

Makryonitis Syros Distillery honours tradition by following an authentic 1930 recipe from “Potopoiia kai Oinopnevmatopoiia” (Spirits and Distillation) by K. Stefanou, published by the Hellenic Agricultural Society Press in Athens. This historical foundation ensures that every bottle captures nearly a century of perfected craftsmanship and traditional Greek distillation knowledge.

The unique terroir of Chios Island creates mastic with distinctive properties that cannot be replicated elsewhere in the world. The Mediterranean climate and volcanic soil contribute to the development of mastic’s complex aromatic profile, which translates beautifully into this sophisticated liqueur.

This mastiha liqueur represents more than just a spirit – it embodies Greek cultural heritage, traditional medicine wisdom, and the exclusive bounty of Chios Island’s unique ecosystem.
