purple ish wax that was pretty hard to remove to get access to the cork
clear quite dark red, no head
deep red berries and honey aroma. complex. settled. heavy. bit like an ancient port wine cellar in madeira.
flavor is red berries, cherries, honey, fruit stone, a very faint spicyboozy note that might be the cognac, it's pretty subtle and i think that is okay, the mead itself totally carries its weight and tastes awesome.
this is a fantastic mead. not bc of the cognac, but despite of it. next time perhaps try a 10x more expensive cognac - not sure it will be better, but worth a try maybe.
would love to taste one where port wine is used, might complement the mead better.
This is very much a top-of-the-line mead.

Аромат отличный. Приятные ягоды вишни в спелым и сладким мёдом. Легкая тонкая пелена от бочки с едва уловимыми карамельными нотами от бурбона. Цвет темно красный, пенки нету. Вкус отличный, мягкий и питкий при этом. Уже больше меда и меньше бочки. При глотке почти одна вишня с лёгкой кислинкой, но на долгом финише вновь привалирует сладость от меда. Очень классично, но с небольшой ноткой бочки, что только в плюс.

Mørk rødblå uten skum. Lukter kirsebær, trevirke og noe honning. Smaker konsentrert kirsebær og honning.
