Bottle courtesy of Athreya. Pours clear golden leaving some subtle legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is floral with high quality floral honey, pale caramel, vanilla fudge, charred wood, pollen, orange zest, lemon zest and hints of bourbon alcohol. Taste is sweet, very tiny sour and floral. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny viscous, slightly boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet with high quality honey, charred wood, bees wax, vanilla, pecans, orange zest, lemon zest and hints of bourbon alcohol. Lovely orange blossom character. Beautiful barrel presence. Balanced and damn tasty! Lovely first mead tried from this brewery. --- Beer merged from original tick of Old Dixie Moon on 12 Sep 2016 at 20:55 - Score: 8.

500 ml bottle from the Meadery. Bottled May 2016. Clear gold. Aroma is whiskey over floral notes and honey. Much more balanced in the flavor with vanilla notes joining the rest of the aroma's components. It all melds much better than the aroma suggested. I like the feel quite a bit too. Nice Mead.
