    Hej! Welcome to my first video in 7 years! It's been on my bucket list to start a RUclips channel. I thought of starting fresh, but you know what? Why not build on my old channel from many MANY years ago. 😁
    I've been living in Sweden for over a year! I hope to make videos about my Swedish experiences and much more. This RUclips channel is just a cute lil baby channel taking its first steps, so subscribe to find out where it goes because I don't even know yet lol.
    I did a blind taste test of 14 julmusts. Which one is best? (Hint: it's not Apotekarnes)

    Omg, I can't believe that you just tried 14 different kind of julmusts. I mean, the level of commitment alone deserves a big like on this video. Only 1400 views - a total disgrace!
    Fun to hear all your thoughts and I'm glad that you found a julmust that you actually liked. I'm an Apotekarnes drinker myself but you convinced me to give Zeunerts a try next time. Ty!

    the main reason why so many say that Apotekarnas is their favorite, is simply because it's one of the two biggest brands that are always available everywhere. Very few people have drunk many of the other ones. It's as simple as that.

      Yep Apotekarnes might have been the only one with national distrubution on Back when we grew up and for most of us that's how julmust was bought back in the day. Also its nostalgia Zeunerts for example is aeons better but it's not a flavour I imagine is the first choice for many children. Same goes for all the more bourguoise ones (Fatlagrad, Årgångsmust etc).

    About them all using the same syrup. For what I understand, only one family in Sweden has the patent for the julmust recipe, and everyone has to buy from them. So nobody can use their own recipe. Must be a goldmine for that family!

    The thing is that most of them you give high marks. Are those that are made for adults to like them. Apotekarnas is the most common and used to be even more common as it had less competition. So all Swedes are used to it since they were little, so that's probably why they rank it so high.

    Best video this week! :D You showed up in the random flow here and I saw Julmust... 😁 I totally agree with you that Apotekarnes is a bad must. To much sugar at that and I don't like the taste either. That said, I'm not a big fan of Zeunert's either, mostly because I think it taste a bit like artificial banana (Skumbanan) somewhere in there. I like the roasted taste in it though and I have found another brand that maybe will go down good with you. And it's Vasa Gammeldags Julmust and Julmust Special (most like Zeunert's I guess). Those two are my favorites. Try to find them if you can and do a part two of this. That would be fun. 👍😊

    Actually, Coca Cola has been trying forever to push julmust out of the market here.

    • @anderszapac
      @anderszapac 3 года назад +7

      Even more interesting, Coca-Cola Company bought a smaller brewery Bjäre and tried to make their own julmust recipe, just like they obviously have their own, secret cola recipe. However their own julmust was a commercial failure, so for the next season they had no choice but to buy the syrup from Roberts. Supposedly Coca-Cola even has made a multi million offer to buy the recipe or the entire company, but Roberts refuse to sell! Now that says something about the size of the julmust market, when Coca-Cola are so frustrated they don't dominate the non-alcoholic beverages for Christmas that they're willing to spend millions only to get access to the missing piece of the puzzle.
      After a few years, Coca-Cola/Bjäre gave up and no longer are producing their own julmust using purchased syrup. They just make Coca-Cola as usual and are content for whichever market share they can get.
      I'm sure there are other breweries who have been thinking in the same way: make our own recipe, save money and not be dependent on a sole supplier. Still the key is to come up with something people like to drink, and just like with the cola market where there are lots of smaller brands of varying quality competing against Coca-Cola and Pepsi, it is tough to find the market with an own taste. Actually there are recipes for how to make your own julmust, which may taste more or less like the store bought ones.

    As a few have said, they should be ice cold and from the bottle. However, your rating is pretty much spot on. The Nygårda rum, oak and cognac versions are really nice but the Zeunerts take the price for me also. One thing you might want to try out is the Apotekarnes Årsmust. Every year they release a premium bottle with added flavours. Usually quite good :-)

    • @satanihelvetet

    The main sirup is made by Roberts in Örebro. They invented the taste inspired from some german drink hundred years ago. They wanted to make an alcohol free festive drink. The reason all use ste same syrup is the recipe is as secret as the coca cola recipe. Very few know the blend.
    Zeunerts has some other ingrediences added. Make the different taste. They are a secret too.

    Late to the party, but about the confusion of why it's called "must":
    We've been making must from fruit and berries at lest since the middle ages, and by time it just became synonymous with any sweet non alcoholic beverage. And since jul- and påskmust are a relative new invention, it seemed fitting when naming it after a traditional drink.
    Today, we don't drink as much must made from fruit anymore. Mostly because the methods of making and preserving juice has improved, I think. But try some real äppelmust. Soooo much better than your average apple juice. Like a liquid apple. (Although, I'll rather just eat an apple instead...)

    And now there is "sommarmust" too.... :D I love julmust and påskmust. Usually stocked up so I would have between seasons but now there is hardly any time between seasons. Had a co-worker who use to stock up must in his office. His staple lunch was Chinese dumplings ( his wife is Chinese) and drinking must with it. You need to drink it cold, not room temperature. Maybe a bit of a acquired taste. Like root beer. I can't stand it and my husband love it. I agree with you on Apotekarnas, it is overrated. I actually like Lidls own brand of Jul-/Påsk-must. Try "Svagdricka" (drink it cold), a more traditional drink.

    There is a very small difference between julmust and påskmust. It's the same recipe, but if you look at the best-before-date label (Shelf life) you will see that there are shorter dates on the Christmas must, because it has been stored a little longer

    Julmust, påskmust, enbärsdricka, svagdricka, bordsdricka and so on - it is all about the pre-stage of making beer. The malt, scented with juniper oil for must, is the key. Must is unfermented and sweetened wort, while svagdricka is just to begin to be beer but not allowed to ferment to beer. Caramelised malt gives the deep dark taste. Zeunerts is somewhere between must and dark svagdricka. Must and mustig also mean “fully rich” in taste and smell. Try to hit a glass of must with a dash of gin.
    You can also make Apotekarnes taste somewhat like Zeunerts by adding from small amounts and up to 50/50 of Guinness or Carnegie Porter beer. Now, You can adjust any parameter as You like. With added gin, this is now called Mumma. Cheers. :-)

    It's interesting that you like the sugar free better. Do you generally drink diet soda? I do agree that Zeunerts is good. I guess it's a sort of acquired taste, kind of like 'sill'. :)

  • @goldrush5764
    @goldrush5764 3 года назад

    I agree with you, Zeunerts has always been my favorite. Apotekarnas and ICA and some others only taste like chemicals. No one tastes like Zeunerts, which have a coffee taste to it which I like alot (it's alot of nice aromas in that one). It's the good after taste of Zeunert's which comes some seconds later (after you drink it) which makes it so good and special compared to the others.

    • @goldrush5764
      @goldrush5764 3 года назад +2

      I can also add that Zeunerts is a very small brand so most swedes have never tasted it. Some 15-20 years ago when I was a teenager the Zeunerts company actually went bankrupt so they stopped producing their julmust for a couple of years. I was devestated! .. ;)
      But then a couple of years later they started up again and started the production again. But it's a shame that they are so small and hard to come by. They havn't got the exposure that they deserve! Most stores don't have Zeunerts so you have to look for them. As soon as you see them, buy them, since they are so hard to come by. You were lucky that your store had them.. ;)

    • @MeaganNouis
      @MeaganNouis  3 года назад +1

      No way!! This is crazy to hear. I should look into this more because I want to everyone to taste Zeunerts. I can't believe it's not very common...I'm so spoiled to find it early on in my Swedish journey. 😁

    • @goldrush5764
      @goldrush5764 3 года назад

      @@MeaganNouis Usually you can find them in the beginning of december but after a while they usually run out of them. I think it's because they have small production volumes and they have a small army of hardcore fans that have discovered them and then they buy them like crazy so they go out of stock. After that Zeunerts can't keep up with the demand since they are such a small producer. I don't know how it is these days but it used to be like that a couple of years ago. Maybe they have grown now, let's hope so! .. ;)
      So you better stock up before the holidays before they run out. Just a tip.. ;)

    Julmust is probably an acquired taste and we who were born here and grew up with it have a different taste for it. I really like Apotekarnes myself, its the one that i usually drink and seldom anything else, its easily the best i have tested, but i have never tried the expensive ones and im not that interested in trying them either because i feel Apotekarnes has the taste im looking for when it comes to must. Im very surpiced that you like the sugarfree ones much better, i admit that i dont think i have ever tasted sugarfree must, but usually sugarfree sodas taste like shit so i never drink that.

    Funny thing about Apotekarnes, which as you can see ends with ”nes” and not ”ens”: I usually, deliberately wrong, pronounce it Apotek-Arnes (Arne is a male first name), something like ”Drugstore Arne's” in English. That's actually how it's really spelled, except I just added a hyphen… Sounds a little more funny, I think, but I bet most people would disagree.
