Nutmeg mead aged in Bourbon barrels.
‘The Arrow of Gold’ celebrates one of our favorite dioecious plants, Myristica fragrans, which produces the voluptuous spice, nutmeg. The youthful passion of freshly emptied bourbon barrels combined with Schramm’s Nutmeg mead creates a beautiful mélange of spice, sweetness, barrel, and time. Redolent of orange blossom honey, nutmeg, & vanillin, ‘The Arrow of Gold’ speaks fire without raising her voice. Enjoy as you would your favorite Sauternes.

375ml bottle. Pours a bronze-gold color. Aroma is mild with honey and, nutmeg and faint bourbon barrel. The taste is very similar to the aroma. The nutmeg creates a slight numbing sensation on the lips and palate. There is a bit of oak barrel in the taste. But, its the honey that dominates. The mouthfeel is full and viscous. Finishes long and sticky sweet--almost cloying. Overall: Just Lovely
