Sparrow & Vine Project B Oaked Aged Mead
Regular price $49.00
Brendan Hilferty from Sparrow & Vine is the man behind Project B, a bone dry and gently sparkling mead. Made from locally sourced raw honey, the mead is naturally fermented in small batches and only diluted with pure water.
What we’ve learnt too is that mead needs time to settle. Time softens and lengthens flavours. Takes away the sharp edges. Adds dimensions. Concentrates complexity.
So we left this to age, in an old French oak barrel, for over 4 years.
The result is a quote remarkable drink. Aromatic memories of flowering gum, preserved lemons, dried herbs, cinnamon, nutmeg that echo vermouth. The palate soft and sharp at the same time, a toasty, nutty, creamy softness underpined by taut natural acidity carrying a myriad of flavours. It is a compelling drink, to sip cold, with a cheese platter, or as unique mixer in cocktails. - Brendan Hilferty
