A traditional mead made with orange blossom honey. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels. For the first release in our Miel de Garde line, we used the highest quality orange blossom honey available, then aged it in a neutral American oak barrel for 18 months. The result is a bright aromatic, decadent mead made for sipping. Serve at cellar temperature.

Deutlich holziger Beginn, die intensiven Honigaromen sind dem unterzuordnen. Intensive Aromen von Honig im Mittelteil, dazu scharf alkoholisch, was etwas stört. Dann wieder holzig, vollmundig, characktervoll. 9/12/8/13/14/12

Refrigerated 375 ml clear bottle poured into a white wine glass. Pours clear pale golden with no head, carbonation, or lacing. Aroma is honey/with barrel. Taste is honey, some orange, some oak with a hint of alcohol. Hints of astringency, hints of medicinal, but one of the better meads I have had.
