Grandpa’s Reserve is finally here. This aged mead is made from huckleberries. We’ve been waiting more than two years for this one, as it’s been aging in oak for more than two years since it was made to commemorate the passing of one of the founder’s grandparents. We entreat you to raise a glass and toast those who came before – may their memories be honored.

Bottle pale golden cloudy. Very sweet honey flavors suspect it is not finished fermenting. Faint Huckleberry flavors. Tasty but very sweet

750ml Bottle Thanks to Rich. Wow, straight up honey, taste and aroma. If there’s huckleberries in there, they were hard to find. Minor fruit sweetness, but mostly tasted like raw honey. Needs more time.

750ml Bottle Thanks to Rich. pours out a hazy pale apricot color. Nose is honey sweetness wild floral notes some light berries. Taste is more of the honey sweetness a small amount of berries a menthol touch. Overall not the worst mead I have had, but it is lacking depth along with way to thin. This one could have used more time in my opinion.
