Rémy Cointreau is a French, family-owned business group specialized in the production and distribution of alcoholic beverages. The group’s products include cognac (Rémy Martin, Louis XIII), triple sec (Cointreau), the Greek spirit Metaxa, rum (Mount Gay), brandy (St-Rémy), gin (The Botanist) and whisky (Bruichladdich, Port Charlotte, Westland, Domaine des Hautes Alpes). The group, whose origins date back to 1724, was formed in 1990 after the merger of Rémy Martin and Cointreau. Rémy Cointreau also owns the fragrance company Maison Psyché.
Metaxa (Greek: Μεταξά) is a line of branded Greek alcoholic drinks, each a flavored amber blend of spirits and Muscat wine, aged in oak barrels.[1] Several Metaxa products have numbered “star” designations indicating, according to different sources, either the product’s age, the number of base spirits and wines used in making it, or simply the quality level (itself a reflection of the age).[2][3] Metaxa’s main exported products are 5 Star, 7 Star, 12 Star, and Private Reserve. (Metaxa 3 Star is not exported.)[4]
