Mead made with the addition of Madagascar-Bourbon vanilla beans. The vanilla flavors blend with the honey to create this delicious delight with a strong yet balanced flavor.
Good partner to aperitif, pastries or desserts.

Bottle sample at Moonlight Meadery, pours a clear blonde. Aroma is on the drier side, with oak and subdued bourbon. Flavour reveals more of the bourbon and vanilla than the nose suggests, with alcohol and heavy sweet honey nectar. Not as complex or revealing of the vanilla as the Wicked for some reason. Interesting.

375 ml Bottle purchased at the source last year. Doing a cellar clean out for the new year. Mostly clear gold with just a slight haze. Aroma is mostly honey with just a slight hint of vanilla.
Flavor has a powerful wildflower honey with the vanilla bean making a subtle appearance in the back of the sip. Very delicate vanilla with the alcohol completely hidden. This is nice.
