Born in 1848 in Greece, Spyros Metaxa was a descendant of a family of silk merchants. His first foray into business was in the trade of fine goods. During his professional travels, he was exposed to a number of different spirits and wines from all around the world. Spirits of his time tended to be harsh on the palate, without much aroma or character. Spyros Metaxa wanted a smoother drink and created Metaxa in 1888.
Aided by his brothers, Elias and Alexander, Spyros Metaxa built his first distillery in 1888 in Piraeus, the port of Athens. The "Salamina Warrior", the Metaxa emblem, is said to have been inspired by a medallion found in the foundations of the distillery.
Metaxa became a commercial success, started being exported to countries across the Mediterranean, and in 1900 was exported to the US.
In 1968, the distillery and the Metaxa cellars were relocated to new facilities in Athens' northern suburb of Kifissia where they are today.
