It is made from grape spirit that is distilled twice and flavoured with anise, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander and nutmeg. Crystal clear in the glass, it turns milky grey-white when water is added, and it offers fennel, liquorice and aniseed with a little spice behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the brand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOuzo 12 was first produced by the Kaloyannis brothers in 1880 at their distillery in Constantinople, now Istanbul. After some experimenting, they made the style from cask number twelve their house style, and that number gave the brand its name. Today it is produced by N. Kaloyiannis Bros S.A. in Greece, and it has been part of the Campari group since 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is grape spirit, which is distilled twice before being flavoured with anise, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander and nutmeg. The spirit is unaged and non-vintage, so its character comes from the botanicals rather than from time in wood. Adding water turns the clear liquid cloudy, a change you can see in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fennel, liquorice and aniseed, with subtle spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A strong aniseed flavour with liquorice and a hint of sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with lingering liquorice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to enjoy it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour a measure into a glass and add water to taste, which turns the spirit milky and softens the aniseed. Ouzo 12 is also used in cocktails that call for an aniseed note, so it can sit on the bar shelf as an ingredient as well as a drink to sip slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ouzo (aniseed spirit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion \/ origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e N.
