So back in February of 2012, SWMBO's brother had asked me to make a mead for him to give to coworkers as a present. It was a 50/50 mixture of Texas blackberry and raspberry honeys.
He left the company around September and held on to all the bottles. I had pretty much forgotten about it until Christmas. He came down with one of the bottles and threw it in the freezer to chill it a bit.
Man oh man. Holy bajeezus. It was good. Damn good. Like, holy cow I can't believe this is the same stuff that I made good.
Best part about it, was that we had brought a friend with us, who had tried this mead back in the beginning of 2013, and had nothing but good things to say about it. He has a glass or twoand tells me "This is way better than that other one I tried before." Got a good laugh out of me by that point.
This is my first experience having my own stuff that's been aged for a while. Most of it never lasts.
