Lyme Bay Winery Chilli Mead 75cl

My wife purchased some of this when we were out in Tintagel from English Heritage. I was initially taken aback by the bouquet of this and I don’t usually use words like that. I sat and I just admired the aroma for a good 30 seconds. I was not let down by my first sip, absolutely gorgeous. English Heritage add a few mor £s to the cost so after a scrutiny of the label I purchased six more bottles direct. I have also tried the rhubarb, Christmas and original mead, all very good products.

This was a remarkable mead. My wife loves chilli and spicy things. I like mead but dislike spicy things. I bought it on a whim, and I’m absolutely gutted it’s sold out. I think this may be a regular purchase when it’s back in stock! It has a subtle heat and a tiny kick which enhances the natural mead flavours, and it’s a fantastic drink on a cold autumn evening.

An Excellent mead, may be my new favorite, beating Moniack as my previous. Sweet with a pleasant kick of heat in the background.

My Favourite of all the Lyme Bay Meads....and YES!! these are true Meads.
This one would be classed as a Metheglin, due to the added spice,...but still a true mead without any grape based wine involved...
