Lurgashall Malmesbury Whisky / Tower of London Mead

Bottle at Sputyen Dyuvil. Pours golden. Nose is full of almonds, very much an almost amaretto mead. Taste is full of sweet almond. I liked this, so what, it tasted good.

From a bottle at the Vintage Estates, nice place. Very pale yellow. Stronger rotten off body odor aroma, perhaps of your favorite girlfriend, so I’ll say its more in a farmy way than bad way, heheh. Sweet and slightly rancid taste, quite weird for a beer lover. Slight warming must be from the scotch. Can;t really taste any whisky in there. Unique, but not really enjoyable. Sweet wine finish.

Pours still, pale golden with thick legs upon swirling. Scotch is not overtly apparent to my nose, but instead I find green wood, mild spicing and sweet honey. Mouth is thick and honey sweet with a floral essence and a great warming sensation as it coats the throat and reaches the belly. No vinous notes, which is a plus in my book. Lingers with a mild cloy and, finally, a whisky note. ~~~~~~~~ A hefty sample from my good pal Cornfield.

This Mead is very alcoholic, and sugary sweet at the same time. Not complex or anything... just kind of bowls you over.

The aroma has what seems like rancid honey and very little whiskey. The appearance is straw gold and very clear. The taste is like the aroma with more whiskey than in the aroma and the mead is sweet and funky. The palate is thin with alcohol burn finish. Overall this one is a bust.

Pours a clear and slightly gold yellow. Slightly thinner than most meads I have had. Aroma is a bizarre mixture of peat, whiskey, apple and honey aroma, yet they don’t seem to connect as well as i would have liked. Taste is much better. Lots of apple and honey with hints of scotch whiskey. Very smooth tasting, looks great in the glass. Deceptively strong. Good, but I am not a fan of the aroma.

Thanks for sharing this Jason. Notes mostly from memory because the notes I have were laundered. Clear golden body with a lot of legs. The aroma has a nice clover, buttercup flowers, and something I couldn’t pinpoint but that was likely the whisky. The mouthfeel was pretty good and coating. Easy drinking with nice floral honey flavors and buttercup.

Bottle: Pours a clear light golden yellow. Aroma, honey, some spices, whisky. Flavor, light sweetness, hint of honey, some heat, whisky notes on the back end.
