Vilniaus Degtinė Starka & Medus (500 ml) is a traditional Lithuanian trauktinė-style spirit from Vilniaus Degtinė, enriched with honey to create a harmonious blend of oak-aged rye distillate and natural sweetness.
Origin: Lithuania
Volume: 500 ml
Alcohol Content: 40% ABV
Ingredients: Rye-based spirit aged in oak barrels with extracts of fruit tree leaves, brandy, spices, and a touch of honey (about 0.02%)
Appearance: Clear amber/golden hue typical of barrel-aged spirits infused with honey
Aroma: Delicate honey sweetness layered over warm oak and dried fruit notes
Taste: Smooth and gently warming, featuring a balanced medley of honey, orchard fruit, oak spice, and subtle herbal undertones
This expression combines the traditional ageing process of Lithuanian Starka—rye spirit barrel-aged with leaves and natural essences—with the soft sweetness of honey, yielding a more approachable and aromatic version of the classic spirit.
Neat: Best enjoyed at room temperature to allow the honey and oak flavours to shine
As an Aperitif or Digestif: Suitable for both pre- and post-meal sipping
Cocktails: Works beautifully in refreshing honeyed cocktails or as a subtle sweetener in Spirit-forward drinks
