Is this pyment or hypocras or metheglin or what?

Whatever it is, it is *delicious*

It tastes like a really good port.

10 pounds of good honey
3pounds of dark brown sugar
2 gallons of black cherry juice
2 cans of Concorde grape juice concentrate

Champagne yeast
Various spices for a medieval-style spice flavor, including peppercorn, coriander, and blood orange peel.would you call I

...it a Hypocras, a Pyment, a metheglin or melomel?

Spices were cooked into the boiling water that was used to dissolve the brown sugar and include Chinese five spice, peppercorn, bay leaf, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, fennel, coriander, and blood orange peel and pulp. (But only from one blood orange!)

After boiling the brown sugar in a gallon of water for about fifteen minutes, with the spices, turn off, stir in honey, and into fermentor wherein cherry juice added and topped to five gallons. Filter it into the secondary.

I'm pretty far gone on this stuff right now so apologies for double posting in the thread.
