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.

Bottle. Purple color with no head. Aroma is super marzipan, cherry pith, cherry soda, Dr. Pepper/Cherry Coke style. Taste is the same. Thick oily mouthfeel. Disappointing, this is basically just Dr. Pepper.

Bottle. Nose is smokey, cherry, coca cola? Palate is smokey, bitter, spicy cherry coke, but a bit sweater and way heavier. Not sure if I got a bad batch. Dissapointing

Treated my self to this bottle trying to up my mead game a bit here and there. Dark red pour. Nose is thick berry jam. Tastes the same condensed berry pie, some honey, red wine. Very tasty I guess supposed to sip but easy to drink as wel.
