Product Information

And if you want to watch the street life go by on Exmouth Market, there’s a large terrace with a vital awning (it was pouring the night we visited but the outdoor tables were still busy). Axia Spirit was founded by Adrian Clarke, a Bacardi clan member, a long-time beverage company investor and entrepreneur, and Nikos Kalogiannis, a distiller and well-known Ouzo producer.

I rather like Axia served neat, but it can also be served on the rocks or in many popular cocktails, making it ideal for an alternative refreshing summer cocktail and tonic serve. With less calories per serve than vodka and gin, Axia keeps the unique characteristics of mastiha, but with additional velvety flavour notes of bergamot and cypress. At the distillery, the crystals are lovingly blended with alcohol and twice distilled in a process that fuses traditional hand-crafted copper stills with master distiller Maroussa Tschaki’s cutting-edge science. Reed Exhibitions Limited is a private limited company, having its registered and principal office at Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, registered in England and Wales with Company No. In Greek Axia means ‘value’ or ‘worth’ and the coiled snake around the bottle is a nod to Snake Island in Chios where the mastic crystals are harvested.Imbibe Live, RX, and Reed Exhibitions are trade marks of Reed Exhibitions Limited and its affiliates.

For a relatively small city, Edinburgh boasts a remarkable number of outstanding cocktail bars, all within easy walking distance of each other. Mastiha, pronounced mas-ti-ka, is a Greek liquor seasoned with mastic resin from the island of Chios.Axia is a premium, 40% ABV spirit distilled from the resin of the Mastiha tree, a gnarled and twisted evergreen found clutching to the hillsides of Chios, Greece. Then simply pour Axia into a chilled tall glass, add a few ice cubes, top with some tonic and stir and then garnish with a rosemary leaf and slice of orange.

The dry long summers of Chios island create ideal conditions for the trees, making it one of the only islands suitable for mastiha production.

The Street Easy is a welcoming, relaxed place with a real personal touch – we received excellent service. Pearls of mastic are harvested from native trees on the island and distilled to make this herbal, fresh, slightly sweet liqueur which gives flavours of pine needles, gnocchi, imperial mint, and a touch of anise.
