Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Rich honey aromas mingle with tart cherry and subtle peppery spice. Hints of oak and vanilla emerge, alongside a faint floral note reminiscent of wildflowers.

Palate: Sweet honey flavors dominate initially, quickly followed by the bright acidity of sour cherries. The Tasmanian pepperberry adds a unique, complex spiciness that's more nuanced than black pepper. Underlying notes of oak and a touch of warm alcohol round out the taste.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering honey sweetness. The cherry tartness fades, leaving a pleasant peppery tingle and subtle oak dryness. A final hint of vanilla emerges as the flavors slowly dissipate.

Dansk Mjod Viking Runes Mead is crafted using a centuries-old recipe, combining honey with sour cherries and Tasmanian peppercorns, then fermenting the mixture to create a unique, spicy mead with 19% ABV; interestingly, the production process eschews modern additives, staying true to traditional mead-making techniques to preserve the drink's historical authenticity.

Viking Runes mead incorporates Tasmanian pepperberries, a rare ingredient that's native to Australia and was unknown to actual Vikings. This unexpected fusion of ancient Nordic tradition and Australian flora creates a truly unique flavor profile.

The runic symbol "Fehu" on the bottle doesn't just look cool—it represents "wealth" in the ancient Furthark alphabet, making each sip a literal toast to prosperity.

Despite its potent 19% ABV, Viking Runes mead contains no added spirits. Its high alcohol content comes solely from fermenting honey, a process that requires exceptional skill and patience from the meadmaker.
