Although this brand of Ouzo is not terribly notable, I still felt it necessary to include it here as a memento of a fantastic trip to the sleepy Greek island of Patmos. Ouzo, the licorice flavored delight, distilled from the ubiquitous anise seed, remains the most famous Greek alcoholic drink (although retsina is a strong contender), with each island, region or town boasting the “best” variety out there. I must admit though, my palette for ouzo remains quite adolescent and while I will always enjoy a cloudy glass of this aperitvo as the sun sets behind yet another outcropping of rock on the horizon, I can not discern the subtle differences between the variety from Samos or the concoctions from Plomari. It’s all just Ouzo to me.
