35N Malvasia di Candia Aromatica Tsikoudia is a refined, single-varietal spirit made from the aromatic Malvasia di Candia grape. It blends the strength of Cretan tradition with the art of distillation, resulting in an incredibly elegant expression that highlights the floral character of the variety. It even took home the Gold Medal at the 2024 Thessaloniki International Wine & Spirits Competition!
35N Cretan Distillery, founded in Rethymno by Ilias Melissourgos, gets its name from the 35th parallel—a line of latitude that crosses a small but storied part of the world: the island of Crete!
This tsikoudia is crafted using traditional fractional pot distillation in copper stills, from top-quality Malvasia di Candia Aromatica grapes. The process is carried out with precision and deep respect for the raw material, preserving the grape’s natural aromas and character.
35N Malvasia di Candia Aromatica is a spirit of exceptional purity—a modern tsikoudia that remains deeply rooted in Cretan heritage.
Aromas of jasmine, lemon blossom, pear, lemon, lime, and dried apricot lead the way. Subtle herbal notes round out a balanced, intoxicating, and elegant profile—perfect served neat or alongside small plates like seafood and cheese.
