õigupoolest pehme ja viimistletud maitsega kombinatsioon brändist ning veinist. Noore siidikaupmehe Spyros Metaxa katsetuste tulemusena sündinud joogi eripära seisneb viinamarjasortide valikus ja brändi maitsestamisel kasutatavates lisandites nagu muskaatvein, maarohud ning roosi kroonlehed. Vein, millest destilleeritakse Metaxa baaspiiritust, tehakse Atika viinamarjadest, sorte on kolm sabbatiano, soultanina ja black corinthian. Traditsiooniline laagerdumine Limousini päritolu tammevaatides kestab 330 aastani. Segamise käigus lisatakse brändile väike kogus suhkrukaramelli ning demineraliseeritud vett, pooleaastase järellaagerdamise eel ka intensiivse lõhnaga muskaatvein ja ülejäänud taimsed maitsestajad. Enne lõplikku villimist jahutatakse jook kuni 6 °C ning filtreeritakse. Metaxa vanust loetakse tärnidega, erandiks on vaid auväärseimad luksustooted, mille puhul kasutatakse sõnalist kirjeldust:
