D'Artemis Mastic

So far, this is the best Mastic Liqueur that we have ever tried! We bought a bottle in Mykonos that we drank as we continued traveling Greece so, yes, we might be completely biased but, later our relatives brought us a bottle to Canada and, it was still as good! The mastic flavor is bold, sweet but well rounded, very unique and authentic.

Appearance: Clear. Aroma: A refreshing pine-tinged resin aroma. Less full and richly rounded than some other mastiha, but arguably also more complex. Flavour and Texture: Sweet but not cloying arrival with a fresh, piney and almost spicy flavour. Light and crisp but with the signature mastic frankincense and myrrh notes still well on display. Overall it has a sweet and subtle fruit/herbal resin presence and there is an almost chewing-gum aftertaste. Mmmm, another really nice masticha. This one is made in small batches by a family company located just outside Athens, using a recipe from the 19th century. The main ingredient comes from Chios, of course. Good stuff, and absolutely worth a try. “Good” : 84/100 (3.75 stars)
