What is Mead? Mead is an alcoholic drink of fermented honey and water! However, not all meads are created in the same manner. Known as the drink of the Gods and in modern memory, associated with the Vikings, mead is now also produced using base alcohol, white wine or sugar syrup, with honey added at a later stage.
Odin is the ‘Allfather’ in Norse mythology. He is the God of battle and also of wisdom, magic, and poetry. His name means ‘fury’ or ‘frenzy’, the quality of fierce inspiration that guided warriors and poets alike. He is also a relentless seeker and giver of wisdom.
Odin’s Mead is a traditional ‘Metheglin’ (herbed honey mead). The tannins give the mead a more ‘full bodied’ flavour, making it a firm favourite for drinkers who like oaked red wine, real ales or casked whiskey. This remarkable flavour is achieved simply by adding tea to the fermentation process. This gives the Mead a Whiskey-esque top palette.
