A sweet traditional mead with heather honey. It has inherited a lovely smoky quality from being matured in an ex-Kilchoman whisky cask.
It is the perfect mead for the Islay lover and a lovely introduction to the complexity of peated whisky in a more accessible medium.

Production process
This mead was made cold. This means that during its production, the honey was not heated above 40-45 °C, which is the normal temperature in nature to which honey is resistant. At higher temperatures, some precious components of honey can be damaged and degraded. Cold-made mead is the best choice.
