Ouzo 12 Anno 1880 – The original Greek classic

Ouzo 12 Anno 1880 is an authentic and historic Greek spirit that dates back to 1880 when the Kaloyannis brothers began production. Back then, several different varieties were produced, but it was the ouzo from cask number 12 that quickly became the people’s favorite – and thus Ouzo 12 was born.

Today, the name is a seal of quality and a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship and Greek joie de vivre. Ouzo 12 is made according to proud methods where anise plays the leading role, elegantly supported by carefully selected herbs and spices. The result is a well-balanced and aromatic ouzo with character and smoothness.

Traditionally served ice cold – either neat, over ice or with a little water to bring out the characteristic milky white color (louche effect). Perfect as an aperitif or with classic Greek meze dishes.
