Our sweet black currant mead, Black Agnes, is named after one boisterous Scottish wench who successfully defended the Scottish Castle of Dunbar during a five-month siege by William Montague, the Earl of Salisbury. While relatively unknown in the United States, black currants have been grown in the British Isles for more than five hundred years, and used by herbalists since the Middle Ages. Sharply tart and acidic, the potent flavors of the fruit are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of premium honey to create a particularly unique, memorable and delicious mead.

O jebanane, jakie aksamitne. Alko nie istnieje. Boska budowa cepa. To 8-06-2016 - wychodzi na to, ze melomele warto lezakowac? Chociaz tez mocniej kwaskowaty niz pamietam ze swiezszych.

Bottle, at bottle share, thanks to Ryan. Pours ruby red. Blackcurrant, rich tart blackcurrant, red grape, honey, sweet, raspberry, floral, hint of dark chocolate, fig, so blackcurrant. Oily body. Absolutely insane.

From Ryan at a share: pours very pretty maroon. Aroma is a lovely blend of black currant honey. Taste is sweet, fruity, deeply complex. Syrupy and smooth. Incredibly good.

Still quite young and will reach its perfect 5 with softer tannins after a few more years in the cellar. That said, ostkaka and Black Agnes 🤤

Thanks Gregg for sharing! Taster showing dark wine red with no head. The nose shows intense notes of black currant. The palate is medium bodied. Extremely black currant throughout with perfect balanced sweetness with more black currant on the finish.
