Urzapa Filípides
Mead 11 º
This Metheglin showcases the robust, heritage-driven character of Heather honey from León, delivering a complex sensory profile marked by earthy, woody, and intensely floral notes. At 11% ABV, it presents a sophisticated interplay between the deep, musky sweetness of the honey and a proprietary blend of mountain herbs. The botanical infusion introduces a subtle herbal bitterness and aromatic depth that elevates the fermented honey base. The experience is structured and warming, transitioning from rich floral sweetness to a clean, lingering herbal finish that honors its ancient Mediterranean inspirations while maintaining a refined, modern balance suitable for both savory pairings and desserts.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (8–14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Still to very lightly petillant with no head formation or lacing, typical of a high-strength traditional fermented honey beverage.
Aroma. High intensity of Heather honey, offering distinct notes of dried flowers, beeswax, and a slight woody musk. A complex herbal bouquet from mountain plants adds layers of spice and botanical freshness. Clean fermentation with noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no ester-driven fruitiness.
Taste. Initial rich honey sweetness is quickly balanced by the slight natural bitterness and tannins inherent in Heather honey. The mountain herbs provide a savory, tea-like complexity and a subtle bitterness that cuts through the sugar. Finishes semi-sweet to off-dry with a lingering aftertaste of honey and dried herbs; no hop or malt flavors are present.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, coating texture. Carbonation is very low to still. A moderate, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 11% strength without being hot or harsh.
