EMPERUS Voždov ZLATNI Grumen Medovača

Overview

The EMPERUS Voždov ZLATNI Grumen Medovača is a Serbian honey liqueur from Emperus' ZLATNI premium line. It is based on a blend of seven apple varieties, which is then infused with acacia honey and matured. Medovača – literally: honey brandy – in Serbia refers to liqueurs and brandies with a honey content; this bottling combines fruit sweetness and honey spice in a premium bottle style.

In the glass

Deep, saturated golden yellow – almost amber. The color reflects the honey content and possible barrel aging influences. High viscosity; the liqueur is dense and slow in the glass.

On the nose

Dominant acacia honey aroma, flanked by ripe apple fruit and light floral notes – linden blossom, beeswax. Underneath lies a subtle spiciness that points to artisanal production. The sweetness is present but not one-dimensional.

On the palate

Full, creamy body with pronounced honey sweetness. Acacia honey and apple jam dominate the mid-palate; a slight acidity prevents the sweetness from tasting flat. The finish is long, warm, and honey-accented with a delicate fruit note at the end. With 30% vol, it has a pleasantly restrained alcohol strength for a liqueur of this category.
