Mead aged in bourbon barrels.
A long time ago, in a basement not far from Detroit...
It is a dark time for the rebel army. The evil empire has tightened its grip and has silenced the rebels’ voice. In an effort to strengthen their cause, the rebels sent out thousands of bottles across the galaxy. But the Imperial troops are hot on their trail. The revolution begins today. Help us B. Nektar fans..... You're our only hope.
May the Pours B. With You.

Bottle @ Miami Fandango ’10 gathering. Cheers to Greg, tpd975 for the share. clear golden pour aroma and flavors, not sure what to say, this is an outstanding mead. Load of complexity here, bourbon goodness, lots of woods, warming mouthfeel, herbal note and buckwheat honey. Overall palate is thick and syrupy with lots of sweet honey finished up with the bourbon barrel. Unique and damn tasty. At 17% this one packs a nice punch and yet it sips slowly without the bourbon overpowering the whole experience.

Bottle from Secret Santa. Unsure of the batch, but I am assuming it is 2 (the most recent one). Labeled R0131208. Pours with a deep golden body and laser etched legs. Aroma of bourbon. Big surprise. Aroma of wet wood, vanilla, honey, sweetness and a slight alcohol tinge. Taste is sweet, there is no doubt that this is a dessert mead. Buttery, some bourbon, very sweet, vanilla, wood. Light sort of aged-sur-lis notes as well that are hard to describe beyond that. Light hay notes as well from the pungent buckwheat honey. Comes across with a hammer. Hefty mouthfeel. Delicious.
