KLEOS Mastiha Spirit (SRP $37.99), is the world’s first super premium mastiha spirit, which was founded by Effie Panagopoulos, the first Greek woman in history to found a liquor brand. KLEOS is a better-for-you, low cal, low sugar, low-ABV botanical spirit made from the ancient Greek superfood mastiha, a protected designation of origin (PDO) ingredient that is the resin of the Skinos tree, which only grows in 24 villages in the southern part of the Greek island of Chios. Mastiha kills h. pylori, the bacteria that causes peptic ulcers, gastric cancer, and acid reflux. Healing properties for the stomach and digestive system are retained in liquor form, making it the ultimate aperitif/digestif.
KLEOS is the only double distilled, small batch, low in sugar, luxury, and woman-owned mastiha brand on the market. KLEOS is crafted through a meticulous distillation process, resulting in a smooth, complex spirit that delivers aromas of carrots, eucalyptus and sage, and botanical tasting notes of cucumber, mint and lemongrass.
The versatility of KLEOS — dubbed “bartender’s olive oil” — makes it a bartender’s dream. It mixes 1:1 with every base spirit on the backbar, and a myriad of fruits, herbs and spices. It can also be used as a base in low-ABV cocktails and spritzes and at only 110 cals, 4g in 2 full ounces, KLEOS Mastiha Spirit is balanced enough is balanced enough to be consumed neat or as a sophisticated sipper on the rocks with a wedge of lemon.
