Jaros Dwojniak Maliniak (14%)

A traditional Polish raspberry mead from Jaros, made as a dwójniak with a 1:1 honey-to-water ratio and bottled at 14% ABV. The dwójniak classification places it in the middle tier of Polish mead richness, while the Maliniak designation indicates the addition of raspberries for natural acidity and fruit character. The nose leads with ripe raspberry, followed by wildflower honey, a subtle floral undertone and a light herbal quality. The palate is smooth and honey-sweet, balanced by bright raspberry acidity, with noticeable viscosity from the honey ratio. The finish is medium in length, with lingering raspberry tartness, a warm honey glow and faint tannic dryness.
