Northern Greece in a Glass
Ouzo production is concentrated where the anise grows best, and Thraki 7 comes from the north — Komotini, in Thrace, where the Thrakis Distillery works fresh water, anise, coriander and fennel seeds through a double distillation, keeping only the heart of the second run. The spirit then rests in stainless steel before bottling: a soft, sweet ouzo built for the Greek table. Try it against the store's other Greek anise spirits in ouzo, browse the broader liqueurs shelf, or see everything from Thraki 7.
Tasting Notes
Fragrant aromas of anise and aromatic herbs; soft and sweet on the palate rather than aggressive, with a mellow anise warmth and an aromatic, lingering aftertaste.
How to Enjoy
Dilute with cold water (about 1:1) over ice — the spirit will louche, turning milky white — and serve with meze or small bites, per Greek tradition.
