Avery Mae from Foxes Den Meadery is a melomel with 11.1% ABV, crafted from black raspberries and black currants combined with Kentucky wildflower and Pacific Northwest meadowfoam honey. This carefully selected base delivers rich fruit intensity, while meadowfoam honey adds distinctive notes of caramel and marshmallow that round out the profile.

After fermentation, the mead is aged on Tahitian vanilla and in French oak, bringing additional complexity through subtle vanilla tones and gentle oak nuances. The aroma is dominated by juicy berry notes paired with creamy honey accents and a light vinous ester character.

The flavor is complex, fruity-sweet yet well balanced by the acidity and tannic structure of currants, with a finish that emphasizes elegance and warmth. The texture is rich and velvety, with layers that unfold in every sip.

Avery Mae exemplifies how Foxes Den successfully combines an innovative choice of ingredients with traditional techniques to create a mead that blends the lushness of fruit, the warmth of honey, and the refined dimension of oak aging.
