Would anyone recommend sourwood honey or should I just use something like orange blossom.
 
Have used both. Like the sourwood honey better. I currently have a 2 gallon batch going of Sourwood. Its a family fav. Orange blossom is a close second. I am planning on starting another 2 gallon batch soon.
 
the "problem" I have with sourwood in mead is it is my favorite honey for eating. So delicious. Spices, caramel, and buttery.

But it does make tasty mead. I wouldn't recommend it for some of the intense fruit bombs, though I keep making them anyway.

I only make semi or sweet with it. I don't feel like enough sourwood character comes through when dry to make it worth the cost. YMMV.
