Gl. Dansk Mjød is the expression that started it all — the original Danish honey mead from one of Scandinavia's most beloved producers, and the one that introduced countless drinkers to the world of serious Nordic mead. An aromatic, sweet and semi-dry mead with a flavor somewhat reminiscent of sherry, Gl. Dansk Mjød is the taste of Danish tradition with a dash of ginger and hops — a combination that sounds unusual but tastes completely natural. A metheglin-style mead made with ginger and hops, it delivers big notes of ginger on the nose, with ginger meeting honey on the palate and a dryish, hoppy finish that is very warming. The nose brings heather, citrus, lemon peel, and flowers — a huge, inviting aromatic presence — while the taste leads with predominant ginger, balanced sweetness, lots of beeswax secondary, and a spicy-sweet character with a slight tart edge. Bottled at 19% ABV, it's best enjoyed slightly chilled as an aperitif, over ice with fresh fruit, or warmed in a mug on a cool evening. Best enjoyed in the company of friends in an informal atmosphere focused on hygge — relaxation and good conversation, just as Danes have done throughout their history. Buy Gl.
