There are many different ouzo brands and the competition is fierce. So it is interesting when a “new” product comes along. Even more so when it proposes an unused, yet traditional method of production and unique marketing and bottling. Quoting from the branding experts that put the whole thing together:
UNDERSTANDING
“Adolo” the best quality ouzo Isidoros Arvanitis could produce.
A pleasant smell of anise, mastic and fennel derives from this premium category ouzo, distilled by an innovative recipe that may change everything taken for granted until now, as far as ouzo flavor is concerned. It is a crystal clear liquid that brings a light sense of its smelling ingredients to the taster’s mouth. According to the myth, the history of ouzo began in late 19th century. Isidoros Arvanitis, from Plomari village, Lesvos island, experimented on various spirits using a lot of different herbs in order to create the “ouzo”. This myth reaches its peak nowadays, again at Plomari village, where the premium ouzo has been created. More over, Isidoros Arvanitis used to name ”Adolo”, the best quality ouzo he could produce, offering it only to his friends.
