Tasmanian leatherwood blossom mead. leatherwood is an intense varietal mead made entirely with Tasmanian leatherwood honey. Leatherwood honey is profoundly aromatic, with notes of eucalyptus, menthol, lemon peel, orchard blossom and flowers of every description. Sweetness is an integral component of this complex and well balanced mead. Simultaneously floral, spicy, fruity and herbal- this mead must be tasted to comprehend.

Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Golden colour, afew short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of blossom, herby, wood, honey. Taste is sweet, honey, blossomy, some herbal & spice notes, heather, woody hint, syrupy. Full bodied, low carbonation, lingering sweet floral finish. Very sippable.

Very enjoyable. Of course very sweet. Very blossomy I would say. Ample honeysuckle. A slight pale wood note. Faint acidity. Warming finish. Highly enjoyable in small dose.
