More than most Moniack is the mead I’ve drunk to the point I can recognise the taste.
From numerous bottles drunk while campaigning at Witchfest, to bottles bought in odd Delhi’s it seems surprisingly common for all it has travelled from the Castle at Inverness. The website reads thus:
Moniack Mead is made from honey and is a delicious well-balanced drink It is probably the oldest alcoholic drink in the world and has always been a wine for special occasions, especially during wedding celebrations, hence the name honeymoon. Nowadays we recommend you drink it as an aperitif. In Summer it may be chilled and in winter mulled.
And it’s a pleasant enough tipple, but perhaps it has grown a little routine.
Moniack is sweet but not too sweet, perhaps slightly too cloying but compared to the other common mead Lindisfarne it’s a blessing.
Still I’m confident it’s a Mead I’ll return to, and ideally I’ll do more than drive past the castle to visit the Meadery at some stage.
Now made in England by Lyme Bay, and has been since about 2009.
