Apis Jadwiga Honey-Raspberry Mead (75cl, 16%)

A Polish półtorak-style mead from Lublin, blending concentrated buckwheat honey with natural raspberry juice at 16% ABV. It follows the półtorak recipe of one part honey to half a part water, giving 720 grams of natural honey per litre. The aroma leads with deep buckwheat honey, ripe raspberry and subtle earthiness. The palate is honey-forward and sticky, with raspberry providing tart counterpoint and sherry-like oxidative richness. The finish is long and viscous, with lingering buckwheat honey and faint berry tartness.
