Small bottle. Sweet and warming with honey and a hint of acidity. A bit like a fortified white wine.

35cl bottle. Very pale yellow/green much like wine. Aroma is sweet, honey, floral. Taste is very sweet, slightly cloying, honey, floral, with a warming boozy end. My first time drinking a pyment, it was definitely more on the mead (honey) side than wine.

Miniature from Maureen - cheers! Pale gold. Honey and lemon cough mixture up front - the kids' tickly throat type stuff. Sweetish and sticky. Light floral notes with a hint of spice. The cough mixture is a little too medicinal for my liking but it's just about ok overall.

Maritim rating med EO, OG og KH ombord på Fridtjofen (Havnedagene i Haugesund) aug-19: Flaske fra samlingen til Ovesen Sr. Klar mahogny. Forfinet aroma og smak med toner av edel sherry, gammel portvin, sviskeplommer, korinter, kanel, lynghonnning og litt lær. Minimum 25% iflg etiketten. En elegant avslutning på en ypperlig kveld i særdeles godt lag.
