Ouzo 12 (Kaloyannis-Koutsikos)
Iconic Greek ouzo brand; global export.
Ouzo 12 traces its origins to 1880 when the Kalogiannis distillery in Constantinople began producing ouzo from a particular barrel known for its aromatic and distinctive flavor profile. The company moved to Thessaloniki in 1925, where its reputation grew regionally. In 1950, the product relocated to Piraeus where it was first bottled commercially, introducing the carafe bottle format that became standard for ouzo presentation. The brand has maintained the same original recipe and flavor profile throughout its history. The company claims the world's number one position for ouzo brand by volume according to IWSR 2023 data. Ouzo 12 serves as a social spirit traditionally consumed in Greece and internationally, marketed as an accompaniment to food and social occasions.
