Tsikoudia VS Aged Malvasia di Candia Aromatica is explosive, complex, aromatic, and delivers nothing less than exactly what one would expect when the intensely aromatic Malvasia di Candia variety ages for a few years in French oak barrels. Depth of flavor, a full body, and a highly elegant finish that earned a silver medal at the Thessaloniki International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2026!
Ilias Melissourgos, at the 35N Cretan Distillery in Rethymno, revives a centuries-old history centered around the art of distillation and showcasing the power of the Cretan land. For Tsikoudia VS Aged Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, he uses the method of fractional discontinuous distillation in copper alembic stills, utilizing exceptional quality grapes of the aromatic Malvasia di Candia Aromatica variety. Afterward, the spirit is placed in brand-new French oak barrels, where it is simply transformed!
Rich aromas of jasmine intertwine with those of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate, creating a very warm and delightful profile that carries over to the palate, leaving a velvety and complex aftertaste.
We recommend trying it at 15°C to bring out its intensely aromatic character, and enjoying it alongside Tiramisu, a Crème Brûlée, or aged cheeses.
