One of the most traditional Greek distillates, Mastiha, comes from the resin of the Lentisco tree, which grows on the island of Chios. This resin, which is called mastic, was believed to have healing properties (for the ancient Greeks), was an excellent natural additive for wine (for the Romans) and even a perfumed balm to use on the body or for bad breath (in Turkish culture).
Skinos, on the other hand, is the ancient term used to refer to "the mastic on the island of Chios" and is also the brand that has revisited this ancient Mastiha mastic liqueur, certainly one of the most famous in Greece, as a digestive after meals. or to drink smooth with a ice.
The sweet and sour taste is characterized by pleasant bitter notes, while its vegetal and balsamic trait makes it really flexible and therefore suitable for the preparation of cocktails or to give a Mediterranean touch to your kitchen.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
