Tsikoudia with Honey by 35N Cretan Distillery uniquely balances the well-known and beloved robustness of Cretan tsikoudia with the elegant, charming flavor of thyme honey from the mountainous villages of Rethymno. An exceptional spirit that marries all the forces of the Cretan land, it can be enjoyed equally well—either chilled in the summer or slightly warm in the winter!
The 35N Cretan Distillery is located in Rethymno and draws its inspiration from the 35th parallel that crosses Crete. This land boasts a massive history in the art of distillation, which Ilias Melissourgos sought to revive and evolve by creating spirits and liqueurs with zero added artificial colors.
In this specific spirit, the base consists of the distillation of selected Cretan grape varieties, which are then blended with pure, mountainous thyme honey from local apiaries and aromatic herbs of the island.
Tsikoudia with Honey by 35N Cretan Distillery features an impressive golden color. On the palate, it delivers the intense and earthy flavor of tsikoudia, elaborately framed by the delicate sweetness of honey, creating a velvety finish with a rich and clean aroma of thyme.
Enjoy it neat, paired with Cretan graviera cheese or Sfakian pie with honey, or even alongside loukoumades (honey puffs) with honey and walnuts, served slightly chilled! 500ml - 24% vol
