Description
The clear spirit is distilled from the resin of the Mastic tree farmed in groves on the Greek island of Chios. You might have seen this plant resin sold as natural chewing gum in Greece, or seen Greek honey with mastiha, popular in high end hamper boxes over here. Enjoyed either immediately – like gin – or after many decades of barrel ageing – like Cognac or whisky.
The long connection between the Royal Navy and rum can be traced back to 1655 and Vice-Admiral William Penn's expedition to the West Indies. I rather like Axia served neat, but it can also be served on the rocks or in many popular cocktails, making it ideal for an alternative refreshing summer cocktail and tonic serve. The spirit has just a hint of candied sweetness, slightly marshmallow-like, which, along with the citrus notes, gives it a slight marmalade-like flavor. The Street Easy was started by couple Jake and Ruby who’ve drawn on their Caribbean, Indonesian and London heritages to create an inviting place to eat and drink.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The dried resin crystals are harvested and cleaned by hand, then double distilled before being bottled at 40% ABV without any sweetening. Simply pour Axia into a chilled tall glass, add some ice cubes and top with pink grapefruit soda and a squeeze of lime juice before garnishing it with a slice of lime for a perfect refreshing summer cocktail.
For a relatively small city, Edinburgh boasts a remarkable number of outstanding cocktail bars, all within easy walking distance of each other. An elegant, extra dry spirit distilled from the aromatic resin of the Mastiha tree, a gnarled and twisted evergreen found clutching to the hillsides of Chios, Greece. Pour Axia into a chilled tall glass, add ice cubes, and top with pink grapefruit soda and a squeeze of lime juice. The tears are washed three times and either packaged as is, ground into powder, or converted into mastic oil. Refreshing and extra dry with a distinctive flavour and aroma, it takes the millennia-old methods of Mastiha-making, and artfully twists them.
Axia is perfectly drinkable neat on the rocks but as I was soon to discover it also makes an excellent base for cocktails.
