On the island of Chios, the past and the present intermingle harmonically together. The fragrances of Chios Mastiha and Citrus Fruits take the centuries-old spirit and civilization of the island on a journey from past to present. Each flavour carries within it unique secrets. Some of these secrets are used in our 100% distilled product recipes for mastiha, ouzo and various liqueurs.

Since 1900, we craft our products in traditional copper stills (kazania) with the same passion and pleasure.

Feel free to browse through our products. It’s your rite of passage into a world of secrets unlike any other…

old crafts, modern facilities

Stoupakis Distillery was founded in the village of Dafnonas, Chios in 1900 by Ioannis Stoupakis.

Combining his distilling knowledge with local ingredients and fresh spring water of the island, he achieved unique distillates.

The distillery is specialized on 100% fine distillates such as ouzo, mastiha, tsipouro and local liqueurs

distilling since 1900

Our story begins in 1896 where a unique ouzo recipe, based on Chios aniseed, made Ioannis Stoupakis ouzo popular throughout the island, while trade with the coast of Asia Minor flourished.

In 1900, Ioannis Stoupakis acquired his first official permit from the Ottoman Empire allowing him to establish his distillery in Dafnonas village.

In 1960 Alexandros Stoupakis, the youngest of the seven brothers, continued what his father had started.

In 1990, the founder’s grandson, Yiannis Stoupakis, a 3rd generation distiller, took over the family business maintaining tradition and giving emphasis to the unique manner and qualities of its production.

In 2008, the company’s shareholding structure was strengthened with new shareholders and its trade style was changed to Stoupakis Chios Distillery S.A.

At the same time, a new production facility was established, which modernized the entire production procedure, maintaining however the traditional way of distilling.

Stoupakis Distillery plant is outfitted with cutting-edge equipment which includes a large number of copper stills and an equally impressive production and bottling line.

The distillery’s warehouses fully meet all health, storage and safety requirements.

The company has invested significant funds in the quality control sector, setting up a stateof-the-art laboratory staffed with chemists, engineers and connoisseurs.

The distillery is certified with ISO 9001:2015 and FSSC 22000

ouzo means more than just drinking

Ouzo is probably the most sociable drink ever created… perfect for sharing with friends.

Its tradition is long and its philosophy well-thought. Those who share its unparalleled taste come closer to one another.

Ouzo is the drink for companionship and confessions. It is the drink of Greece, the one nobody can ever copy.

Its recipe is simple and at the same time exquisite. It has been linked with the sun, the sea, the joy of life. Its taste and the pleasure it offers are inextricably connected to the history and memories of an entire nation. Its taste has conquered Greece, not to mention visitors from other countries as well.

The ideal glass for drinking ouzo is usually tall and tubular, allowing for the addition of water.

100% distilled to perfection, with the exquisite aniseed of Chios, and the secret recipe which contains local fragrances of the island. No sugar is added, providing an unforgettable taste experience.

Ouzo Kazanisto makes a wonderful accompaniment to fish, seafood, spreads, finger-food and other various h’ordeuvres (mezedes).

It can be enjoyed either neat or with water. As is the case with all spirit drinks having a vibrant aroma, the consumption temperature must not be high, which is why ice is usually added.

It also can be used as a refreshing cocktail base, combined with fruit and vegetable juices or liqueurs.

tsipouro synonymous with Greek hospitality

Tsipouro is an authentic Greek product closely interwoven with the Greek lifestyle, hospitality and entertainment.

It is produced by the distillation of grape marc. It is the drink bound to relax us, the drink that urges us to join in and communicate with our friends, gather around a table and savor a wide assortment of traditional h’ordeuvres (mezedes), constantly alternating flavors and aromas of the Greek mountains and deep-blue sea.

MAVRO RODO

single νariety Tsipouro from Tirn avos Black Muscat

MAVRO RODO (BLACK ROSE)

is a single-variety tsipouro, produced exclusively from the distillation of Tirnavos black Muscat.

The area of Tirnavos in Thessalia, Greece, is a global reference point for this famous variety and was awarded PGI designation in 1989.

Each year in November, the Stoupakis family travel from Chios to Tirnavos in order to distill the grapes for the superior “Mavro Rodo” Tsipouro.

Mastiha: the unique gift of Chios

Mastiha, widely known since ancient times for its beneficial and therapeutic properties, is an aromatic resin offered to us by the mastic tree (Pistacia Lentiscus var. Chia), a shrub flourishing worldwide only in Southern Chios.

Mastiha has constituted - and still does - the emblem of the island of Chios, and a large part of the island’s growth is attributed to the blessed teardrop of the mastiha tree.

Mastiha liqueur is the outcome of the distillation of supreme quality mastiha and shows enormous potential in the international market.

Pure Mastiha Liqueur

A new refined spirit crafted with care and passion by Stoupakis Chios Distillery. The legendary teardrops of the mastiha trees give the unique flavor and aroma in Miss Tic as well as the feeling of a modern bar ingredient Miss Tic contains triple mastiha quantity and less sugar than an ordinary liquer. A bunch of pure aroma that can exlode any barista’s creativity.

Mastiha Liqueur

Stoupakis Chios Distillery gathers all of the historical goodness of Chios mastiha in one superb and rare distillate:

“HOMERIC” Mastiha Liqueur. Tenderly embraced by tradition, “HOMERIC” Mastiha Liqueur retains all of the mastiha’s unique traits unaltered.

For rare, unforgettable moments of pleasure try your “HOMERIC” Mastiha Liqueur on ice or in an imaginative cocktail.

Mandarin Liqueur

The Chios mandarin is an integral part of Chios’ culture and identity. It comes from the unique citrus variety “Citrus Deliciose Tenore” that is native to the island and the area of Kambos in particular.

In recognition of its uniqueness, the European Union has given its variety a “Protected Geographical Indication” designation.

OneDrop is a pure, 100% distillate made exlusively with Chios mandarins in the same traditional manner used by our forefathers. Enjoy it chilled, or use it to liven up your cocktails.
