Σήμερα τα Αποστακτήρια Καλλικούνη έχουν περάσει στα χέρια της τέταρτης γενιάς, στους Γεώργιο και Βασίλειο Καλλικούνη, οι οποίοι με σπουδές Φυσικής και Χημείας στα Πανεπιστήμια του Στρασβούργου και Θεσσαλονίκης, συνεχίζουν σε μια υπερσύγχρονη μονάδα την παραγωγή μεγάλης γκάμας αλκοολούχων ποτών και σιροπιών.
OUR STORY
In 1850 G. CALLICOUNIS,
established in Kalamata of Messinia prefecture in Greece, the first steam powered distillery equipment with the best known machinery at the time.
With studies of chemistry in Triesto and combining with imagination and knowledge a big variety of aromatic plants, roots and fruits from the vast vegetation of Southern Greece, George Callicounis performed the creation of Distillates and extracts with original subtle tastes and flavours.
In 1859 begins the triumphal presence
in the International Markets and expositions. 46 gold metals, Diplomas of Honour and distinctions gained into fairs from Paris to Marseille and to San Francisco of USA, are all the living evidence of the superiority and high quality of CALLICOUNIS products. In 1900 the Distillery participates to the big international exhibition in Paris EXPOSITION MONDIALE and gains the first class gold medal for the Liqueurs and Brandi.
Our distillates, extracts, concentres and absolues are the same aromatic and tasteful heart of the aperitifs, Digestifs, Bitters and liqueurs produced since then by the Distillery.
As one of Greece’s oldest distillery, the craftsmanship & experience have been passed on from generation to generation. We have been awarded numerous accolades, prizes & awards by Dignitaries & Royalties and we are proud of our heritage.
“..Δεν υπάρχει καλή επιρροή, κύριε Gray. Κάθε επιρροή είναι ανήθικη, ανήθικη από επιστημονική άποψη {..} Διότι να ασκείς επιρροή πάνω σε έναν άνθρωπο σημαίνει ότι του δίνεις την ίδια σου την ψυχή.” Όσκαρ Ουάιλντ
