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.

375ml bottle thanks to Steve. Violet / ruby body. Very full fruity aroma, berries, raisins. Beautiful honey flavors too, but the focus is in the fruit, big jelly jar flavors, sweet and full. Tasty AF.
