Production of Angels Treasure Single Cask Strength GP24 by Metaxa

Angels Treasure Single Cask Strength GP24 - Metaxa is based on a selection of high-quality base wines from Greece. These wines are first turned into a brandy, which later develops its distinctive depth and fullness in oak casks. The foundation consists of carefully selected grapes from sun-drenched locations, whose mature aromatic profile is clearly expressed in the finished spirit.

In the cellars of Metaxa, the brandy matures in carefully selected wooden casks that contribute notes responsible for its distinctive character. Greece’s warm climate encourages intensive interaction between the distillate and the wood. This creates complex aromas of vanilla, caramel, spices and gentle roasted tones. Over time, some of the liquid evaporates—the so-called angels’ share—while the remaining brandy becomes increasingly dense and aromatic.

Distillation takes place in traditional copper stills, creating a spirit that is smooth yet concentrated. The master distillers ensure a clean, clear middle cut so that only the finest fractions proceed to maturation. Every stage, from selecting the base wine to aging in cask, follows a precise craftsmanship that Metaxa has refined over many years.

The single cask bottling is particularly distinctive. Here, the brandy comes from a single cask whose individual character takes center stage. The producer forgoes filtration, allowing all aromatic components to reach the glass intact. Bottling at cask strength preserves the full intensity and depth of the brandy, providing the foundation for an impressive tasting experience.

The distillery’s philosophy is built on harmony between tradition and modern precision. Careful selection of the raw materials, gentle handling of the cask maturation and respect for the natural development process define its style. The result is a brandy that combines the warmth and spice of Greece with elegant depth.

Serving recommendations for Angels Treasure Single Cask Strength GP24 - Metaxa

This brandy shows its strengths best when enjoyed neat in a wide Cognac glass. A gently warmed glass brings the aromas of fig, honey, plum, nutmeg and dried fruit clearly to the fore. A serving temperature just below room temperature usually delivers the most harmonious impression while also revealing the distillate’s spicy depth.

With a premium cigar, this brandy creates an impressive interplay. Notes of cocoa, cinnamon and honey surround the smoke, forming an elegant counterpart to spicy tobacco varieties. It also pairs very well with fine dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, especially when small pieces are allowed to melt slowly on the tongue before taking a sip of brandy.

As an accompaniment to aged hard cheese, the brandy reveals its robust yet velvety character. Nutty, salty cheese notes enter into an appealing dialogue with the sweet fruit aromas of fig, plum and dried fruit. The combination with a strong blue cheese is particularly intriguing, as the sweetness of the brandy provides an interesting contrast.

This brandy also pairs well with spicy grilled lamb chops. After a meal, a glass in a Cognac snifter offers a rounded, aromatic conclusion that picks up the roasted flavors of the meat and the spices once again. It also creates a finely balanced interplay of sweetness, spice and gentle bitterness with desserts featuring dark chocolate, almonds or roasted nuts.

For cocktails, it is best used in restrained quantities to preserve its refined character. A twist on the classic Old Fashioned with a piece of brown sugar, a few dashes of aromatic bitters and an orange zest elegantly highlights the fruit and spice notes of the brandy. Another option is a luxurious Brandy Sour with fresh lemon juice, a touch of sugar syrup and a decorative orange zest.

Whether as an elegant gift, the highlight of an evening at the bar or a private treasure in your own spirits cabinet, this single cask brandy invites moments of calm and mindful enjoyment. Each bottle tells of sun-drenched vineyards, dark barrel cellars and the art of bringing time, wood and wine together in a single glass.
