Its well-balanced taste and aroma is achieved with carefully selected spices. It is produced from mellow nectarous honey with the addition of blackcurrant juice.
Created on the basis of honey mash, with the proportions 1 part honey to 1 part water. Its several-year-long maturing provides it with a piquant taste and aroma. It contains 16% alcohol.

Beautiful bright golden. A little honey and a lot of oak in the nose. Lots of woody notes. Very rich, oaky, sweet. Balanced, refined. The most crazy legs I have ever seen on a mead.

31/10 0.75 l bottle. It poured clear amber body with quite good, oily legs. True honey is predominant in its aroma along with alcohol before some spices. Honey flavor as well, with alcohol bite being much weaker than nose would suggest. Some other flavors are felt here, like for instance fruitness of a sherry or our local wine, prosek. Thick bodied, feels rich oily/creamy in the mouth. Warming, prolonged sweet finish. So sweet, it’s dangerously drinkable, I could easily drink a bottle or two. I was not happy about my first mead, but this is a completely different thing and I really like it!

0.75l bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy (huge thanks!) Poured a truly beautiful darker orange/amber... nice legs. The nose is big honey, slightly vinuous, dust and light alcohol,better than it sounds probably. A very, very drinkable mead, remarkably soft. Honey, prosecco-like notes (maybe grapes), some gummi bears and alcohol. Very warming. Definitely very, very enjoyable. Man, Apis really does some great stuff.

(Bottled). Light clear amber color, no head. Light aroma of sweet honey, clover, hay and cardboard. Full-bodied. Loads of honey and sugar - liquid sweetness. Hints of some berries. Splendid mead.

Bottle, 75cl. (RBNAG 07) Considering it’s high score, and it’s wonderful cousin Poltorak Jadwiga, I had high expectations for this one. The weren’t fullfilled. It looks nice, with a clear, golden body, but from there on, something is missing. The nose has honey, some heather and alcohol, but it’s far from outstanding. The flavor is honey-sweet and sugary, with some flowery notes, but still just a little better than mediocre. I also find it a bit too heathery and bitter. It has a quite full body. I may have sounded too harsh now, because it’s a really nice mead, but as mentioned, it disappointed me. (071103)

Beautiful amber color. Very nice aroma of mountain honey. Sweet and well balanced, with a sweet caramel taste and very light herbs and pine needles. Very good.
