Dansk Viking Blod immediately captures attention with its striking reddish hue and evocative name, meaning Viking Blood. This distinctive color is naturally derived from dried hibiscus flowers, a key ingredient that also shapes its unique flavor profile. Despite the fierce name, the experience within the bottle is one of intricate taste and warmth.
Crafted by Dansk Mjod, this mead blends a special honey base infused with ginger, pure water, hibiscus, and additional spices. The hibiscus contributes not only the signature color but also prominent floral notes, adding an elegant dimension to the aroma and palate. This floral character is beautifully complemented by the gentle spice of ginger and other subtle spice additions, all seamlessly integrated with the foundational sweetness of the honey. The resulting profile is aromatic, sweet, and complex, often drawing comparisons to the rich character of a good Madeira wine.
At 19% alcohol by volume, Viking Blod possesses a satisfying depth and body. It showcases Dansk Mjod's expertise in combining traditional mead-making with creative botanical elements.
