Pips Meadery — Vanilla Amalgamation

Détails techniques

Profil de dégustation

Vanilla Amalgamation pours luxuriously rich, layering plush vanilla bean over Pips’ signature orange blossom honey foundation. The bouquet weaves together ripe raspberry, black currant, and dark cherry with whispers of plum and peach, all softened by a creamy vanilla sweetness. On the palate, fruit-forward melomel character bursts forward, fresh berries and stone fruit folding into honeyed warmth, while vanilla lends a custardy, almost dessert-like roundness. Residual sweetness is balanced by bright fruit acidity, finishing long with lingering notes of honey, orchard fruit, and toasted vanilla pod. A decadent, contemplative sipper.

Accords avec les aliments

Pair with a creamy vanilla bean cheesecake topped with mixed berry compote to mirror the mead’s fruit and vanilla layers. Alternatively, serve alongside a soft triple-cream cheese like Saint-André with fresh raspberries and honeycomb, allowing the rich dairy to complement the melomel’s lush sweetness and orchard fruit complexity.
