Axia is a clear, refreshing, and extra-dry Mastiha – pronounced “Mas-teek-a” spirit distilled from the resin of the Mastiha tree found on the Greek Island of Chios. The area beneath the trees is covered with a thin layer of white limestone powder to help keep the crystals clean.During the Ottoman’s 300 year rule of Chios, it was worth its own weight in gold and incited jealousy and warfare. The resin of the evergreen Mastiha tree, found on the hillsides of Chios, has been used for millennia for its sweet and floral scent and anti-oxidant properties. In a centuries-old, artisanal tradition, the sap is milked from the tree and left to dry in the wind. Unlike the liqueur, AXIA is a white spirit with low sugar content and 40% ABV and is distilled to bring out notes of bergamot, cypress and rose.
