i. Biography
The Climb
Training at TEI Patras gives Konstantinos Psychis the first fixed point in a career that settles into one professional home rather than a long chain of addresses. The movement from study into distilling is direct, and that directness matters: it places technique before narrative, and practice before self-myth. In this kind of work, the progression is less about acceleration than about the discipline of staying with a craft until it takes shape around a single place.
Today
Psychis Distillery in Chios is the working center of Konstantinos Psychis’s practice. The distillery and the island are bound together in the biography, and that pairing carries the weight of the job: production is rooted in a named place, not abstracted from it. Chios sets the frame, and Psychis Distillery gives the work its address. In that combination, the craft reads as local, continuous, and clearly situated.
Signature
Chios Liqueur Mastiha Psychis, Ouzo Of Chios Psychis Rempiko, Chios Mastiha Liqueur, Ouzo Mastiha, and Tsipouro make up the signature group tied to Konstantinos Psychis. The names hold the field tightly around Chios and around the distillery’s own line of production, keeping the range legible as one connected body of work. Rather than spread outward, the portfolio returns to the same ground, and that repetition is part of its identity.
Recognition
IWSC Silver (2017), IWSC Packaging Bronze (2017), and IWSC Bronze (2017) mark the year the work was singled out externally. The sequence is compact and specific, with all three honors arriving in 2017 and one of them recognizing packaging as well as the liquid itself.
