Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Mastic Tears Classic by EVA is a clear, crystalline Greek Mastiha liqueur distilled in copper stills. The nose offers distinct notes of pine, herbs, and spices, lifted by a subtle hint of citrus. On the palate, this spirit delivers a smooth and delicately sweet texture, defined by an intensely balsamic character. The experience concludes with a long, clean, and refreshing finish at 24% ABV.
Where it comes from
Hailing from Greece, this liqueur features Mastiha resin harvested on the island of Chios. The Mediterranean climate and local flora allow the mastic tree to flourish, developing its characteristic herbal and pine-led profile. The resin is then transported to Mytilene on the island of Lesbos, where EVA performs the distillation. This synergy within the Aegean Islands creates a spirit deeply connected to regional heritage.
How it is produced
Production begins with the controlled extraction of Mastiha resin. EVA utilises modern copper stills for distillation, meticulously preserving the delicate aromatic components. A precise blending phase follows, ensuring a consistent and balanced flavour profile. Every stage of the process adheres to rigorous quality standards, resulting in a refined spirit with a perfectly measured and clean sweetness.
