lol from the ashes this one comes =)

With honey being heated, hate to say but what would a bochet be without it? I don't go "burnt" with mine but do get a nice level of caramel color and it didn't obliterate the profile either. Possibly because it was crystallized orange blossom but I Really like how it is working.

For my other meads, not sure I'd put my honey on heat without testing it first. I have a new one in that's very delicately floral I know I wouldn't but that's one honey of the masses of different ones offered. But I think if you find a preference for it or it accents the notes you want then is it "wrong" no, does it alter the honey, sure but so does the whole process.
