Axia

About Axia

Axia takes the millennia-old rules of Mastiha-making, and artfully twists them, aligning seamlessly with the spirit of our times. Distilled from the aromatic resin of the Mastiha tree, a gnarled and twisted evergreen found clutching to the hillsides of the Aegean island Chios, Greece, Axia is a new-to world, premium, extra dry Mediterranean spirit.

Cultivated on the ‘Snake Island’ of Chios, these trees are milked for their aromatic resin, which has been coveted, traded and fought over for generations. This resin has flavoured foods, been exchanged as currency, and been valued in religious ceremonies. It was once even used to create snakebite anti-venom – a potent elixir from which Axia, with its high mastic resin content, has been inspired.
