The story behind it
The maker
Founded by the Kaloyiannis family in 1880, Ouzo 12 has grown to become one of the most famous and widely consumed ouzos in the world. The brand remains committed to its historic double-distillation process and secret recipe of botanical extracts.
How it is made
Ouzo 12 was first produced in Constantinople in 1880 before the distillery relocated to Greece. Its name pays homage to 'Barrel 12' in the Kaloyiannis distillery, which was selected as the finest blend.
