Mead from the Highlands, with a mixture of 14 herbs and spices and hops flavored with cherry syrup. The distinct aromatic flavor of the sour cherry gives the mead an interesting touch, which is especially appreciated by women.
Mead from Vysočina is made using the traditional method of fermentation and long aging of a thick honey base with the addition of 14 types of herbs and spices. Long-term testing resulted in a family recipe according to which we always try to create a delicious drink that brings you the pleasure of drinking well. Herbs help with good digestion and absorption, spices are characterized by their aroma, and hops add subtle bitterness. That is why you can also serve mead as an aperitif. Valuable substances from honey generally strengthen the organism and bring mental well-being.
We recommend drinking it chilled or, on the contrary, heated to a temperature of around 40 C.
The fruity notes of mead also perfectly complement, for example, an ice cream sundae.

This mead is suitable for heating, but we recommend always keeping the maximum heating temperature to approx. 50-55 ° C. At higher temperatures, the precious components of honey could be damaged. For heating, we recommend sweeter and more pronounced mead, especially those with the addition of spices or herbs, the aroma of which pleasantly emerges when heated. However, you can taste the mead according to your wishes, as well as mulled wine.
