Plummy honey sweetness up front. In the mouth more honeydew melon, lingering. A bit tight at the finish.
Revisited after an hour and it’s a stunner. The gin barrel is really present x with lovely juniper and herbal botanicals balancing, nice acidity

Сладко, есть слива, меда хотелось бы больше, единственный минус что в целом ощущается как ликер, а не медовуха почему то.

Bottle pour at MBCC 2025 (Green session), pours a clear blonde. Aroma has lots of treacly wildflower honey and gin barrels that don’t brutalize the nostrils. Flavour is very sweet and complex, with lots of treacly wildflower honey, subtle gin, and some brown sugar. I don’t really notice the gin presence much. Just a delicious mead as usual.

MBCC 2025. Session #4.
Some phenols, honey, fruity. Lacks acidity to balance the sweetness. Still pleasant.
