Dansk Mjod Old Norse Jule Mead

Serve as a dessert wine and enjoy with your holiday traditions or on a cold evening any time of year. It goes well alongside sweet desserts, soft cheeses, or apple-based dishes.

Nose: Warm baked apple comes forward first. Cinnamon adds a gentle spice note. The overall impression is clean and inviting without being candy-sweet.

Palate: Smooth and medium-bodied, closer to a dessert wine than anything syrupy. There's enough body to feel substantial without any heat or harshness.

Finish: Lingers with a soft, spiced warmth.

Dansk Mjød has been brewing this holiday mead near Billund, Denmark since 1994, working from an authentic recipe dating back to the 1700s that combines honey, apple, cinnamon, and ginger using all-natural ingredients.

• The recipe behind Dansk Mjød's Jule Mead dates back to the 1700s, which means people were sipping this same honey, apple, and cinnamon combination long before Christmas cards, advent calendars, or even the modern concept of holiday gift-giving existed.
• Mead is technically older than both wine and beer as a fermented drink, with evidence of honey-based fermentation stretching back over 9,000 years.
• The distinctive stoneware crock that Jule Mead comes in isn't just for show, mead stored in ceramic actually ages and mellows over time.
