35N Aged Tsikoudia
35N is more than a name
35N stands for a small spot on our planet’s 35N parallel, the location of an ancient island with a history of 5.000 years whose residents have always been living and acting with heart and soul. This island is Crete. The name of the distillate is Tsikoudia.
Aged Tsikoudia
It is the heart of the best Cretan grapes from selected vineyards of the island. Produced in artisanal discontinuous distillation with fractional copper alembics in Rethymno. Tsikoudia is aged in oak barrels, acquiring a strong aroma of nuts, dried fruits and honeycomb. Perfectly balanced, deep, full flavor and intense aftertaste.
40% alcohol in serially numbered, clear bottles
THE CRETAN TSIKOUDIA
The Cretan Tsikoudia, humble from its very beginnings, was traditionally produced from ancient Cretan varieties’ grape remnants. It was used as medication, but also to welcome guests, begin a meal, a celebration or a friendly chat.
It also marked the end to an exhausting day, to a meal and a feast. You will find it in all Cretan homes, even those far away from the island, and it claims a single, unique rule:
Always drink it in company, never alone.
The Team
The Tsikoudia 35N has its origins in the spirit of real companionship. It is the outcome of a close friendship which in 2020 lasts for more than 30 years. In this get-together, George Markoulakis and Pantelis Fanourgakis decided to support Ilias Melissourgos in making his dream come true. This dream was to produce the best Tsikoudia, the one deserving its history and its origins. A Tsikoudia, of which they, too, would be proud to offer and drink.
