X2 is a reimagined version of a mead of yesteryear called Mead X. Last made in 2018.

X2 features tart cherries from the Mediterranean, Black Currants from NY State, Blackberries from the Pacific Northwest blended with organic honey by way of Brazil and Orange Blossom honey before aging on oak and a blend of Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla beans.

We kept it wild with a mixed culture using both Saccharomyces and Non-Saccharomyces strains originating from France and New Zealand.

Deep dark purple, not too thick from the looks of it. Smells sweet, cherries, honey, vanilla. Soft and sticky, very easy to drink. Very sweet, with plenty of cherry juice present. Vanilla is more subdued, and works well. Almost light.

Roodzwart, vol van geur en smaak. Doet denken aan port. Smaak blijft lekker lang hangen. Interessante combi van zoet en zuur.
