With the emergence of schnapps towards the end of the Middle Ages, the practice of mixing mead and schnapps became widespread. The highly popular drink went by many names, all depe nding on the Danish region where it was drunk. In southern Jutland, it was known as Klapøjster, the dialect word for somersault and also the name of this mead, to which aquavit obviously has been added. The addition of aquavit to Klapøjster Mjød is inspired by old Danish traditions. This mead is thus stronger than the classic version, with an after-taste of schnapps, but retains the characteristic flavor associated with the body and sweetness of mead. 21.8% ABV Show more
