Barrel Aged Traditional Mead - 2 Star Great Taste Award 2023/2024
50cl - 18%
Setting some of our award winning Traditional Mead aside to age in Oak whiskey barrels has created a wondrously dark, deep, woody celebration of the best parts of oak and honey. This traditional mead is layered with natural vanillins from the oak barrel with undertones of whiskey that used to call it home, beautifully balanced with our delicious late summer honey.

Great Taste Judging Notes:
"Aromas of toast with underlying beeswax and the lift of citrus. We loved the layers of texture, accumulating in a finish that displays both corn mill and peat. A sophisticated and complex mead."
"This has a lovely depth of bright amber colour; very intense on the nose, with pronounced notes of manuka honey, sweet yet smokey. This is an impressively deep and complex mead with almost umami depth, balancing the rich, intense honey with savoury notes. The flavours are complex, long and lingering."
