Ouzo Knossos 42% Abv Heraklion, Crete

Ouzo Knossos (42% ABV) from Heraklion, Crete is a traditional Greek anise-flavored liqueur2. Here are the tasting notes:

Appearance: Clear and bright.

Aroma: Dominant and fragrant star anise with delicate herbal undertones2.

Taste: Sweet, anise-forward flavor with herbal notes, including hints of fennel, coriander, and chamomile. There may be a slight spiciness to balance the sweetness.

Finish: Smooth, long-lasting anise and a herbal finish that lingers.

Traditionally, ouzo is enjoyed with water or ice, which turns the liqueur a milky white due to the oils from the anise. It pairs wonderfully with Greek meze, such as olives, cheese, and seafood.
