Elephantastic Bandit 2022

Cold-soaked aronia mead with vanilla beans. 7 days cold-soak before gentle pressing, followed by gradual feeding of local wildflower honey. Even when cold-soaking the aronia berries to temper their tannic and earthy characteristics, they needed to be balanced out by a shit-ton of honey to really let their juicy characteristic shine. Ugandan vanilla beans adds some extra creaminess and smacks you in the face with caramelized vanilla notes. -------------------------- 2022 -------------------------- Honey variety: Wildflower Aronia variety: 50% organic, Debio-certified aronia from Sjue Gård in Hof. 50% wild aronia berries picked by Ulf Källén.
