Good evening,
I took a risk on a store bought mead for the first time in years. Honestly, still disappointed. $13’ish for a wee bottle.
Initial look - light but cloudy AF. Come on man, this is the easiest bar to hit!
Mouthfeel - coating, smooth, buttery. Definitely the best part of the experience.
Nose - not much to smell… subtle honey with a bit of heat from the alcohol
Taste - upfront, I get a little bit of apple followed by a mouthful of honey. It’s really really sweet
Finish - sickly sweet covering up lots of alcohol burn . It’s baaaad finish .
Final notes - I wish this was back sweetened a lot less and aged a lot more. It would be so much better, the honey and apple would balance out perfectly. It’s a cooking wine for me now…
