Jaros Dwojniak Maliniak (14%)

Jaros Dwojniak Maliniak is a traditional Polish raspberry mead, or miód pitny, bottled in a ceramic vessel. As a dwojniak, it uses a 1:1 honey-to-water ratio, the second-highest honey concentration in the Polish classification system. Raspberry fruit or juice is added during fermentation, introducing natural acidity and berry character to the honeyed base. The aroma is led by wild raspberry preserves and raw wildflower honey, with beeswax, dried herbs and a gentle floral lift. The palate is lush and honeyed, with ripe raspberry, pleasant tartness, stone fruit and a faint spice note. The finish is medium-long, with lingering raspberry and honey sweetness tapering into a clean, slightly tannic close and a trace of herbal bitterness.
