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.
