Description

The second-eldest of the meads named after the three norns (Urd, Verdandi and Skuld), Verdandi is believed to represent the present. This wild-fermented mead has been matured for three years, which has led to a slight reduction in the sweetness compared to the younger Urd. This has allowed some additional complex flavours to come to the fore, including a mild nuttiness. A good aperitif drink for those who want a light drink that can supply some complexity without being overly rich.

The meads from the Lancashire Mead Company are probably best described as classic meads, with sweet and straightforward flavour profiles. They also tend to have a slight winelike “funk” that no doubt stems from close proximity to more experimental wild fermentations. While usually not strongly aromatic, they sit very pleasantly on the tongue and have both a mellowness and depth that make them extremely moreish. As such they are best enjoyed alongside cheeses or desserts that can serve as a contrast or a compliment to the sweetness of the mead, while also helping to prevent an entire bottle from “accidentally” vanishing.
