Bottle pour at Mead Museum, pours a clear reddish pink. Aroma has soft floral raspberries, some weird phenolic notes, and wildflower honey. Flavour has some smoky notes, floral raspberries, and wildflower honey. The booze can be felt, along with the leather smokiness, which is surprising to perceive. Good but not exquisite.

Bottle at Medovinárna, thx mcberko! Pinkish red shiny body. Concentrated raspberry, syrupy bit, honeyish aroma. Similar presence, fresh raspberry, alcohol, simplistic, but quite okay. It has its uses, not my fav.

Pours a darker garnet-ruby. Scent is super-intense, jammy AF raspberry, blackcurrent underneath. This is a real intense concentration of fruits. it's enjoyable - in a way - but I have doubts they got this intensity by putting actual fruits in the mead. It doesnt seem arteficial, but it's hard to believe it's anything else than just that. Taste is super intense, thick, very sweet. Pure raspberry concentration, blackcurrent a bit underneath. Some fruit acidity. honey is nearly 100% lost, but provides a nice, doughy almost, finish. I kinda really like this one, and again, it doesn't taste arteficial, but it has to be, with this concentration. I think cocktail people would have a blast with this, instead of fruit syrups - though i'm a pure-kinda guy.
