The Statement is our balaton cherry mead – made with the highest quality Traverse City balaton cherries, carefully selected honey and twenty years of experience – having gone through more than a dozen iterations. Living up to it’s name, this mead truly makes a statement due to its incredible expression and depth of flavor and character rendered from honey and Michigan tart cherries. A natural complement to chocolate and sharp or blue cheeses, The Statement also pairs well with grilled pork, and makes a terrific reduction sauce for desserts.

Sample courtesy of JPDurden24 and a bottle courtesy of my sister 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours with a dark pink to violet colored body that exhibits some nice legginess. The aroma offers up nectar sweet dark berries and then crazy berry goodness wow! Pretty rich aroma of berry goodness and whiffs of slick sweetness. The taste is similar with lovely nectar like berry richness and sweet smooth nearly silky modest honey backbone. This is sweet smooth goodness where a mild cherry tannin like tartness creates a crisper dryer finish. This isn’t a big rich sweet sweet sipper but berry juice, some honey and a bit of berry tartness. Lovely statement.
