Last of old mead

[Steveruch]

16 year old raspberry mead and 18 year old cherry mead. All gone

WOW!! What were the ABV's of each? I hope I can muster up enough patience to do the same with my meads. That said, I have two 22 oz bottles of California style barleywine style beers that I brewed in 2006 that I've managed to keep...(refrigerated)..but, I have a feeling those will disappear this holiday season I didn't start making mead until July 1 of this year, so, everything I have is still either fermenting or bulk aging, most of it too green for consumption yet.

Both were 18%.

Kudos to you, for having the willpower to hang on to them as long as you did.

The important question - How was the taste?

Both good, but I did prefer the cherry.

i'm going to cry when my now 12 year old bottle of brandy kicks! but i still got about a gallon, and only drink two ounces a year.


i'm hoping you have some other jugs aging!

Nope; don't have the room right now.

not even for a gallon with oak or something, stashed in a cupboard?

My wife and I live in an old school bus; space is very limited.
