Purple Potion from Alcove Meadery is a melomel with 12% alcohol, crafted from sainfoin honey and blueberries, then aged for seven months in brandy barrels. This process allows for a harmonious blend of fruity freshness and honeyed richness, enhanced by warm notes of wood and spirits.

The aroma is dominated by intense blueberries, while subtle hints of honey and oak in the background add complexity. The taste is well balanced - the fruit acidity refreshes the sweetness of honey, creating a drink that is both approachable and layered.

The texture is full and smooth, with a rounded finish where fruit, sweetness, and gentle alcohol notes intertwine. Purple Potion stands out as an example of Alcove Meadery’s innovative approach, where local ingredients and carefully chosen aging techniques result in a beverage of rich and authentic character.
