Description
Mead, or honey wine, is widely accepted to be the oldest form of alcohol. It is also the fastest growing sector of the US alcohol market today.

Like the idea of dragons, and their fondness for maidens, mead seems to have been created independently by different cultures all around the world. We bring these ancient archetypes into the modern age, producing delightfully flavorful wines.

We are proud to offer eight meads, of classic and unique styles, made from exclusively West Virginia Honey and other premium all natural ingredients. All of our meads are craft fermented in traditional small batch glassware to protect these delicious flavors.

We never add sulfites or other chemical additives, and all of our products are made with gluten-free yeast.

Bottle shared by Travlr at the DC Pre-Thanksgiving tasting. Thanks! Poured a hazy ruby brown color with no head. Aroma is cherry, some woody vanilla notes. Flavor was light cherries, some cold medicine. Booze.

Brown pour. A little rough around the edges. Light bitter finish. Not a lot of honey or sweetness. Some astringency here and not a lot of balance. Bottle shared by Travlr.

A little more sour than the black cherry red. A little worse in general than the other one, not sure if this is an age issue. Pours brownish ochre. Thanks to Travlr.

Bottle from the source. Hazy pink color. Aroma has herbs up front, probably the tea I guess, followed by sweet fruit and a hint of white pepper. Taste is slightly sweeter, slightly less complex than the non-blush version, and still has a mostly dry finish. Tasty stuff.

Bottle from the source. Crystal clear bright pinkish red, flat. Nice aroma of lightly dusty and peppery honey and very light cherry. The tea comes through a bit more in the taste, with some light herbal notes followed by dried fruit. Dry finish. Very tasty.
