Our Heather honey traditional mead explodes with Scottish Heather honey, known for it’s incredibly vibrant aromatics and flavors, which bear a strong resemblance to those of Scotch Whisky. It is among the dearest of honeys, fetching high prices for it’s mesmerizingly fruity, woody and complex nature. The honey and the mead can both be accurately described as boldly perfumed, uninhibited and resplendent.

375 bottle. Batch 2. Pours a murky amber color. The aroma is quite strong with honey and more honey. Very rich honey aroma. The taste, as in the aroma, honey, some light herbs, a bit of floral and rock candy. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long with lingering rock candy and a bit of scotch. Overall: decent fer sure. But I'd prefer their sunflowers and Leatherwood.

Batch three but this time not at a blind tasting, really delicious floral honey, slight spice, slight Arizona green tea still. Deliciously slightly weird in a fantastic way.

On tap at Schramm's, pours a clear golden yellow. Aroma is unbelievably intense, with elegant, intense honey that tickles the nostril hairs. Flavour reveals exceptionally intense and pure honey character, almost like I'm sucking the honey out of a beehive. Wow. That's some intense stuff. I can see this turning off some palates, but this is pretty spectacular.

Taster showing golden hues. The nose shows pronounced notes of honeysuckle with light floral notes and a hints of nuttiness. The palate is medium bodied. Moderately and balanced sweetness and very concentrated honey forwardness with a light acidity and light floral notes and light nuttiness with more raw concentrated honey on the finish.

29 November 2019. At Billie's Craft Beer Fest. Cheers to the lovely Anke, tderoeck, 77ships & Ghent beer crew! Batch 2. Clear golden, no head. Aroma has honey, honey, honey, apple, white bread dough. Taste is very sweet honey, fruity touch, a bit bready, a bit sourish, more honey. Very sweet finish with expected liqueur alcohol. Medium body, syrupy texture, flat carbonation. Delicious liqueur; felt a bit out of place here.
