Wanderer Mead is a complex and adventurous creation inspired by Odin’s alias, The Wanderer, the Norse god who roamed the realms seeking wisdom and hidden truths. Crafted from a blend of North Carolina wildflower blossom honey, mixed with a touch of buckwheat blossom honey, this mead captures the spirit of exploration and mystery. The mead opens with the light, floral aroma of wildflower honey, evoking the sense of wandering through meadows, much like Odin’s travels across distant realms. The bright and flowery start is deepened by the bold, earthy notes of buckwheat honey, creating a layered experience that mirrors Odin’s duality—both light and dark, gentle and intense. This combination forms an aromatic bouquet that hints at sweetness and complexity. On the palate, the mead begins with the soft, flowery essence of wildflower honey, delivering a gentle, nectar-like sweetness. As the flavors develop, the rich undertones of buckwheat blossom honey emerge, adding hints of molasses and dark caramel, reflecting the depth and wisdom Odin sought during his wanderings. The interplay of these honeys creates a balanced and nuanced profile, capturing the contrast between light and shadow, simplicity and complexity. The finish is smooth, with a subtle smokiness and a lingering note of dried fruit, reminiscent of the ancient forests and campfires where Odin, in disguise as a traveler, would rest and reflect. Wanderer Mead invites slow savoring, much like the gradual unfolding of ancient secrets and stories. This mead pairs beautifully with roasted meats, hearty stews, or dark chocolate desserts, complementing its intricate flavor profile. Each sip is a tribute to The Wanderer’s quest—a journey of discovery, depth, and ancient wisdom waiting to be uncovered.
