Dansk Mjød Viking Blood Danish Mead 75 cl 19%

Item no.: 059763-6801

Honey, water and time. That's how it was done long before anyone wrote recipes down. On the edge of Billund, a small brewery still does much the same, with dried hibiscus and ginger added to the brew. The result is red as a shield rim after battle.
Expert description
Dansk Mjød Viking Blod 75 cl is a Nordic Danish Mead with dried hibiscus and ginger, brewed on a recipe from around the year 1700 and bottled at 19%.
Honey is the main ingredient. The traditional brew is flavour adjusted with ginger and dried hibiscus, and it's the hibiscus that gives the mead its red colour and its name, Viking Blood. According to the producer, the ingredients are natural and free from additives, and the mead is free from gluten and lactose.
The style is sweet and floral, but the hibiscus adds a tart edge that keeps the sweetness in check. Many compare it to a good Madeira. The bottle is matt black with runes around the neck, and the label is red with a golden Viking ship.
It's made by Dansk Mjød A/S in Billund, a small family-owned company that has been brewing mead since 1994.
Tasting notes
Nose
Flowers first, clearly led by hibiscus. Behind it sit honey and a hint of citrus.
Palate
Soft and sweet with honey up front. The hibiscus leans towards cranberry and rhubarb, and the ginger adds a little warmth on the side.
Finish
Spicy, aromatic and floral. The finish is drier than sweet and lingers a while, with ginger as the last thread.

Mjødgård Ren Mjød Danish Mead 10 cl 14%

Item no.: 22478-71133

On the outskirts of Haslev in South Zealand, honey and water settle into something older than the Vikings, older than language itself. At Mjødgård, an old craft is kept alive with local ingredients and patience – and the result arrives here golden, quietly matured in casks that once held port wine.
Expert's Description
Mjødgård Ren Mjød is a traditional Danish mead brewed from water and honey and matured in casks that previously held port wine, bottled at 12% vol.
The mead is brewed from summer and heather honey and left to rest in oak casks from port wine production – a choice that gives the characteristic sweetness a spiced counterpoint from the cask. It is unfiltered, so natural sediment may appear in the bottle, and it carries the 2025 vintage. Behind the bottle sits the microbrewery Mjødgård in Haslev, founded in 2008 by Thomas Priiskorn, who alongside brewing also hosts mead tastings and shares Nordic mythology in the farm's historic buildings.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose opens with clear honey, backed by a gentle warmth from the cask and a whisper of nuts.
Taste
On the palate there's a fine balance between sweetness and acidity, with the honey holding everything together without turning cloying, while the nutty notes return alongside a faint spiciness from the port cask.
Finish
The finish is long and honey-laden, with the cask's character sitting like a warm base beneath the sweetness.

Mjødgård Skovmjød Danish Mead 10 cl 14%

Item no.: 22478-7111

There's a farm just outside Haslev, in South Zealand, where honey from the estate's own beehives meets blackberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants picked in the surrounding woods. Oak chips go into the vats during fermentation, and what comes out is a deep amber mead where the tartness of the berries still cuts through the sweetness.
Expert's description
Mjødgård Skovmjød Skovbær og Egetræ is a Danish Mead made with Danish honey, forest berries and oak, bottled at 12%.
Mjødgård is a small mead brewery in Haslev, South Zealand, founded in 2008 by Thomas Priiskorn, who still brews with raw materials sourced from the local area. Skovmjød is the vintage release, where honey meets blackberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants from the nearby forests, while oak adds a light, dry counterpoint to the fruit's acidity.
The mead is naturally fermented and unfiltered, so a thin layer of sediment can form in the bottle - that's completely normal and can be gently shaken back in before serving. With its pronounced berry acidity and a sweet, rounded finish, this is a semi-sweet mead made both for sipping on its own and for the table.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey and ripe forest berries - blackberry and blackcurrant - with a light touch of dry oak underneath.
Palate
Tart and fresh up front, led by the berries, before the honey's sweetness and a faint oaky edge take over.
Finish
Long and sweet, with the acidity from redcurrant and blackcurrant returning to keep it lively right to the end.

Mjødgård Høstmjød Danish Mead 50 cl 14%

Item no.: 222-844156

Mjødgård Høstmjød Danish Mead 50 cl 14%

Mjødgård Høstmjød has a charm that sits right where Danish tradition meets modern mead craftsmanship. It is a mead that leans into the character of late summer and autumn: warm, rounded and filled with natural honey sweetness, yet still carrying a freshness that keeps the expression lively.

It is brewed with Danish honey and shows clear notes of flowers, ripe fruit and a mild spiciness that adds depth without becoming heavy. In the glass it appears golden and clear, and the aroma offers warm honey tones along with a hint of herbal character, which is characteristic of Mjødgård’s style.

The taste is soft and harmonious – sweet but never sticky – with a rounded finish that makes it suitable as a companion to desserts, cheese or simply as a calm glass in good company. Høstmjød is, in short, a Danish mead that celebrates seasonal ingredients and delivers a clean, elegant and easy‑drinking experience.

Mjødgård Sommermjød Danish Mead 50 cl 13%

Item no.: 22227865478-7144378

Summer Mead – with rhubarb and walnut

Summer Mead is a fresh, thirst-quenching, and wine-like mead, where the classic honey sweetness takes a gentle backseat. Instead, a crisp, floral acidity shines through, accompanied by subtle bitter notes from walnut and rhubarb.

Both aroma and flavour offer complexity, with delicate nuances of unripe fruit, resin, and flower pollen – a refreshing and elegant mead that both surprises and seduces.

Best enjoyed well chilled – even over ice – on the terrace, in the garden, or as a unique alternative to rosé.

Mjødgård Skovmjød Danish Mead 75 cl 14%

Fresh and fruity with a distinct tartness – this forest berry mead stands out as the perfect companion for rich berry desserts and sharp, aged cheeses.

The natural acidity of the wild berries creates a beautiful counterbalance to the honey’s sweetness, giving the mead a full-bodied berry base with a subtle hint of oak. The finish is long, elegant, and bursting with fruity character.

This is the taste of the Danish forest in a bottle – a mead where berry sharpness takes the lead and the typical honey profile steps into the background. A truly unique expression in the Mjødgård range.

Serve chilled – and enjoy it with cheese, desserts, dark chocolate, fresh fruit, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The familiar scent of Danish elderflowers evokes memories of sunny summer days, while the flavour is full-bodied and smooth. The finish is long and pleasant, with light, natural bitterness from the blossoms.

The sweetness is on the lighter side, yet with a clear and pure honey character that rounds off the experience beautifully.

Mjødgård Giftbox Danish Mead 4x10 cl 13-14%

Item no.: 22227865478-7141

Somewhere on South Zealand, where the fields run down toward the coast, bees have been at work for generations. Mjødgård turned that harvest into four very different bottles – floral, fruity, forest-dark and oak-rounded. This is mead the way it tasted long before anyone called it a trend.
An Expert's Description
Mjødgård Gift Box is a collection of four Danish Meads from the Mjødgård brewery in Haslev, all from the 2024 vintage and ranging between 13 and 14% ABV. Mjødgård has been brewing since 2008 and builds its entire production around natural fermentation and local raw materials from South Zealand – no shortcuts, no additives, just honey, water and time. The box brings together four expressions from the brewery's range: Engmjød is brewed on meadowsweet and represents the classic, herbal style. Hyldemjød draws on elderflower for a lighter, more floral character. Skovmjød is made with forest berries and oak, carrying both fruit and a light wood structure from the start. Ren Mjød stands apart as it's matured in oak casks, giving it a rounder, drier and more complex profile than the other three, which are meant to be enjoyed young and fresh.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Aromas run from fresh elderflower and herbs to ripe forest berries, with a hint of warm oak from the cask-aged bottle. Honey runs as a common thread through all four.
Palate
On the palate the experience shifts between light and floral, sweet and berry-driven, and the more structured, lightly spiced character from the oak. Sweetness is present throughout, but never cloying.
Finish
The finish is fairly short on the three young meads, while Ren Mjød lingers longer with a dry, woody edge.

Item no.: 22227865478-714436

Gorm the Old – The Royal Mead with apples, angelica, and oak

A sweet, complex, and intense mead crafted for royal enjoyment. Gorm the Old was a ruler with a taste for power – and for life’s sweet pleasures. This mead is therefore brewed with an abundance of fine ingredients and a depth of flavour worthy of his name.

Gorm’s mead offers a full-bodied, honey-sweet profile with deep, oaky notes reminiscent of bold red wines. Despite its intensity, it maintains a refined acidity and light bitterness that balance the sweetness and allow subtle nuances to shine through. Apples add a touch of freshness, while angelica brings a spicy, herbal aftertaste that lingers on the palate. The oak rounds it all off with warmth and depth.

This mead pairs beautifully with strong, aged cheeses or rich, indulgent desserts – especially those featuring caramel, honey, or nuts. Surprisingly, it also complements red meats well, with its oaky character and soft tannins delivering a rare, wine-like experience.

Dansk Mjød Viking Runes Danish Cherry Mead 75 cl 14%

Item no.: 059763-615-3802

Honey, cherries and a splash of Tasmania. Mead is older than the Vikings and older than writing, yet here it sits in a dark bottle with gold runes and a longship on the label, as if it had just pulled up to the quay in Billund.
Expert description
Vikinge Runer Kirsebær Edition is a Danish Mead made with cherries and Tasmanian pepperberries by Dansk Mjød in Billund, brewed to a recipe from around the year 1700 and bottled at 14%.
It is the first mead in the Vikinge Runer series, and the label calls it a Nordic honey wine. Honey is the main ingredient, and the cherries give the mead its deep red colour. According to Dansk Mjød, the ingredients are 100% natural, with no additives of any kind and no gluten or lactose.
The pepperberries are what sets this bottle apart from an ordinary cherry mead. They put a lightly spiced base under the sweetness. Honey, fruit and spice carry the flavour here. Sediment may occur, as the label points out.
Dansk Mjød has been brewing mead since 1994. It is a small, family-owned business that develops the equipment it brews on itself.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey and ripe cherries, with a round touch of vanilla behind them and a hint of pepper.
Palate
Sweet and juicy. The honey leads, then the fresh tartness of the sour cherries steps in and keeps the sweetness in check.
Finish
Lightly spiced and spirited, with pepper coming in from behind to add warmth. It lingers longer than the sweetness would suggest.

Dansk Mjød Danish Christmas Mead 75 cl 14.8%

Item no.: 059763-615-265

A white bottle, a red Viking ship on the label, and inside something older than Christmas itself. Mead has some 5,000 years of history behind it, and this one follows a recipe from around the year 1700, with apple juice, ginger and cinnamon to chase off the cold.
Expert description
Dansk Mjød Jule Mjød is a Nordic Honey Wine made with honey, apple juice, ginger and cinnamon and bottled at 14.8%.
This is mead, neither beer nor grape wine. Honey is the main ingredient, while the apple juice, ginger and cinnamon give it a spiced, wintry edge. The producer, Dansk Mjød A/S in Billund, says the recipe dates back to around 1700 and that the ingredients are 100% natural, with no additives of any kind.
Jule Mjød is meant as a dessert wine for the days when rice pudding and traditional Christmas desserts come out. The producer also points to cheese as a good partner.
Tasting notes
Nose
Honey first, then a soft apple sweetness with cinnamon on top. The ginger sits in the background and adds a warm, slightly sharp edge.
Palate
Sweet and round with honey up front. The apple juice keeps it fresh enough that the sweetness never turns heavy, and halfway through cinnamon and ginger take over with a soft, spiced warmth.
Finish
The spices linger, mostly cinnamon, while the honey fades out behind them.
