Metaxa: Greece’s Mysterious Spirit of War | The Spill

What do a warrior medallion, an ancient amphora, and a secret blend of Mediterranean botanicals have in common? They’re all part of the mysterious and bold story of Metaxa—Greece’s signature spirit that defies easy categorization.

Matt and Jason sip through Metaxa’s layered history, from its roots in 1888 to its ties with the Salamina Warrior Emblem, the Amphora bottle, and the elusive Spyros Cask. Is it a brandy? A fortified wine? An international flex with stars on the label? Yes.

If you’ve ever wondered what Metaxa really is—or why it's showing up in cocktail bars from Athens to Austin—this episode spills it all.
