Produced initially at Moniack Castle in the Scottish Highlands, Moniack Mead has a lovely, lingering, and smooth flavour with caramel and fermented honey elements.
The nose is slightly floral with a robust body of caramel aroma. The body is smooth and warming with a certain dryness, prominent honey and caramel flavours without being overly sweet, along with light floral notes.

75cl bottle. Clear orange amber colour, some initial bubbles that quickly disappear leaving no head and deep honey aroma, herby, with liquorice & earthy alcohol. Honey flavour, some sweetness, plus flowery, spice & grassy notes. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium to full bodied, low carbonation, warming finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle at 4:20. Clear, light and bright gold. Light booze aroma, some fruits and honey. Sweet, but not the sweetest mead I’ve had - which is nice. Full bodied and warming. Sugar, honey and mild alcohol on the finish. Nice.

Bottle 75 cl. RBESG Rome 2010. Clear deep golden. Very sweet honey in the nose. Very full body, sticky sweet honey with only a whiff of spices. A very sweet and solid Mead if a little unrefined and one-dimensional. 060610
