Fermented from dark honey in fresh bourbon barrels for 12 months minimum. Rich and full-bodied with notes of bourbon and honey. Sweet Desire was the first bourbon barrel-aged mead on the market in 2002 that spawned a trend. We only use our fresh bourbon barrels once for sweet desire so that it captures the full bourbon taste from the chard American oak soaked with bourbon. 18% ABV is a perfect sipping mead on its own or with Chocolate or a cigar.
