Dansk Mjød Jule Mjød

Dansk Mjød Jule Mjød is the Christmas mead from Dansk Mjød, the Billund, Denmark, meadery that revived Viking-era honey wine for the modern market and whose Viking Blod and Odin's Skull have become the best-known meads in America. Jule means Yule, and this is the house's holiday bottling: a Nordic honey wine fermented from honey and water in the old Danish style, then finished with apple juice, fresh ginger and cinnamon, the flavors of a Scandinavian Christmas market poured into a bottle. Dansk Mjød builds its meads on recipes documented from the Viking age and makes them without the grape, so what you taste is honey first, floral and rich, with the apple adding a bright orchard-fruit lift and the ginger and cinnamon warming the finish like gløgg. It comes in the meadery's signature white stoneware-style bottle with a red Yule label and a cork stopper, which makes it one of the easiest holiday gifts on the shelf. Serve it chilled as an aperitif, at room temperature alongside roast pork, ham or a cheese board, or gently warmed in a mug with an orange slice for the full Nordic winter treatment. A seasonal release that Dansk Mjød only ships for the holidays, so it tends to be gone by the time the lights come down.
