Tasting Profile & Serving

The nose opens with pronounced jasmine and white flower notes characteristic of the Malvasia variety, followed by honeyed fruit and subtle herbal undertones. On the palate, the French oak contributes warming vanilla, bitter chocolate, and espresso tones that frame the grape's natural aromatics. The finish is smooth and moderately long, with lingering coffee and spice.

Serve at 15°C in a tulip-shaped glass or small snifter. Let the spirit rest for three to five minutes after pouring to allow the aromatics to open fully. Pair with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or aged cheese. This tsikoudia also complements rich desserts and can be enjoyed as a contemplative digestif.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tsikoudia and how does it differ from raki?
Tsikoudia is a traditional Cretan grape pomace spirit, similar to Italian grappa. The term 'raki' is used in other regions of Greece and Turkey. This version is crafted from whole Malvasia grapes and aged in oak, distinguishing it from unaged styles.
Why is serving temperature important?
Serving at 15°C allows the aromatic compounds to volatilize gently without overwhelming the palate with alcohol heat. Warmer temperatures emphasize the oak-derived spice and chocolate notes, while cooler temperatures highlight the floral character.
How should I store an opened bottle?
Store upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. The high alcohol content preserves the spirit well once opened. Recork tightly after each pour to minimize oxidation and aroma loss.
Can this spirit be used in cocktails?
While excellent on its own, the oak-aged character and aromatic profile work well in spirit-forward cocktails. Use in place of aged brandy or whiskey in classic recipes, or serve simply with a twist of orange peel.
