Taste Notes

The taste difference between Ed's honey and this honey is pretty noticeable. I got a lot of bready/cookie like notes from this honey, which got more pronounced during aging. I delivered 13 bottles to the Frickies who donated the honey and kept some for aging as well. *update* I found out, funny enough, that the guy I will get my commercial honey from for Meeker's Mead is the same guy who sold the Frickies the honey, so I already know his honey is going to make some dank mead!!!!!!
