The story began in 1880 at the Kalogiannis distillery in Constantinople, where connoisseurs favored ouzo from barrel No. 12 for its rich, aromatic flavor.
In 1925, the family moved to Thessaloniki, enchanting the city with their unique recipe. By 1950, the ouzo reached Piraeus, where it was first bottled in the iconic carafe that soon became a classic.
From Greece to the world, Ouzo 12 has kept its original 1880 recipe, preserving the spirit of friendship, family, and everyday joy.
