From the distiller
From September 2005 OUZO12 is distilled and produced in the Koutsikos’ distillery in Volos (Central Greece), an area famous for its Ouzo and Tsipouro. The history of Koutsikos’ distillery is interesting too. It begins in 1889, with the establishment of the 1st distillery. This distillery was meant to create a memorable name in the history of Greek industry. The Koutsikos brandy became quickly a famous drink all over Greece. At the same time Koutsikos developed the production of Ouzo and liquors that became soon popular, especially Ouzo Koutsikos and flavoured liquors (mint , orange, cherry).
In 2004 Gruppo Campari, the OUZO12 Brand owner, acquired Koutsikos’ factory and launched an intense investment program in order to upgrade distillery, to meet OUZO12 demands and high quality standards.
