Ouzo 12 is the world’s number one ouzo — born in Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, in 1880 at the Kaloyannis Distillery, where it took its name from Barrel No.12, the extract preferred for its rich taste and delicate aroma. Over 140 years later, Ouzo 12 remains faithful to that original recipe — every single bottle representative of the soul of Greece, and one of the most consumed aniseed-flavoured spirits of Greek tradition worldwide. Part of the Gruppo Campari family since 1999.

Appearance

Crystal clear in the bottle — turning a characteristic milky white when water or ice is added, the classic louche effect that is as much a part of the ouzo ritual as the spirit itself.

Aroma

The extraordinary aroma of history and tradition — rich aniseed leads a fragrant and inviting bouquet of genuine Greek character, with the delicate complexity that has made Barrel No.12’s recipe the benchmark for ouzo since 1880.

Palate

Rich in taste and delicate in aroma — the same flavour that has made Ouzo 12 the world’s most consumed ouzo for over a century, with the smooth, aniseed character of Greek tradition in every sip.

Serving Suggestions

Served the traditional Greek way — neat or with a splash of cold water to release the louche, alongside mezze of olives, grilled octopus, and feta. Also excellent over ice on a warm afternoon. The soul of Greece in a glass.
