Ok, what this forum needs is a new topic. I've already read everything on it!
Lately I've been trying some commercial meads and I wanted to ask you all what commercial meads you might recommend. I know this was well traveled ground on this forum before the changes, but unfortunetly I never got a chance to read about this topic. Any recommendations?
On my experiences, I've only tried some from White Winter Meadery (should have aged it, stupid me) and Chaucers. Funny thing about Chaucers, on the bottle it says "Best served shortly after purchase" which I always thought was odd because everyone knows mead is best when aged. I think it's because they know alot of people don't care for the sweet qualities (which I liked) that come out after it's aged.
On the White Winter stuff, I don't think I can have a fair opinion since when I tasted it it tasted very young and I didn't age it. I've been meaning to try Lugashall's, but that's stuff is expensive and so I've been reluctant.
