Philosopher’s Stone is a specialized, high-ABV (14% ABV) mead – A “Viking Shrub” – blending traditional honey wine with quince vinegar and citrus in one, and herbs in the other. Produced by Denmark’s Dansk Mjod, it acts as a sweet, acidic botanical elixir bridging ancient techniques with modern, barrel-aged, or herbar/citrus-infused flavor profiles
***VERY LIMITED***
