Mead nose is off

Hey All,

I have a basic mead that I made from Midwest supplies:

I have let it age for around 18 months now. After first like expected it was very hot. It has calmed down considerably. I took a small sample to test various back sweetening methods (Honey, Sugar, Agave nectar). Each one tasted good, but the nose of it still smelled like it tasted over a year ago. I know I forgot about it some months and some air may have gotten into it when my airlock went dry. Would this be the cause? Also, anything I can do for it?

Thanks,

Greg

Can you clarify? The mead smells boozy hot? Or just missing smell you were looking for?

Yeah it smells boozy hot. Just doesn't match up with the taste now.
