Tasting notes from Karl,

Tempered Diamonds:

Before I even get to tasting here, it’s gotta be said, the nose on the Diamonds here is something else. It’s hosting a near nuttiness within the aroma. I wasn’t expecting that, but it’s certainly enjoyable! It is also complemented by the blueberry blossom honey’s expected, but rather subtle floral notes thereafter. Very interesting.

Getting into the flavor profile with a subtle sweetness that’s more unusual for our traditional style meads, but certainly not displeasing! Rolling in with a fun floral, earthiness within a pleasingly semi-sweet honey profile that betrays an ever so shy fruitiness. The Tempered Diamonds is a raw beauty like its namesake; with larger sips being smooth, sweet and positively addicting. Where a smaller sip and a slow appreciation of this mead beholds all of the beautiful little details with a off-dry finish. A wonderful addition to our cast of trads, to be sure
