In mid-2013, two brothers, Manos & Nikolas Smyrlakis, inspired by their roots in the oldest distillery in Greece (operating in Greece since 1850), went "back to the roots." Based on old traditional liqueur recipes, uniquely rare ingredients, and 100% natural ingredients from all over Greece, they created Roots. Roots Mastic is a pure distillate of Chios mastic. Its composition exclusively from rich distillation of Chios Mastic without any other addition contributes to the creation of the finest, purest, and most unforgettable Mastic. Mastic is the only ingredient and the soul of this unique distillate. Roots is the most premium and exclusive mastic in the market.
