At the Rookery, the fermentable in all our recipes is honey and we never use sugars or syrups. All the flavourings are high-quality ingredients and never artificial flavourings. Most of our meads use hand-foraged ingredients, concentrating on Scottish native species such as meadwort, heather, silver birch sap, crab-apples and a range of hedgerow berries.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 02/07/24. Clear light blonde with a thin white cap that clears to spotting. Nose is herb, straw, grains, light booze, honey, sugars. Taste comprises heather honey, sugars, booze, spice, watermelon, floral tones. Medium bodied with bite, oily feel, semi drying close with a rising alcoholic warmth. Decent enough Mead.
