Wildflower Irish Mead: We aged our Wildflower Mead in an Irish oak hogshead whiskey cask from Midleton distillery. It’s a Triple Irish in effect! – Irish wildflower honey, Irish oak barrels and Irish whiskey. These very special, rare casks were seasoned with single pot still Irish whiskey along with a jar of the honey! 2026 Batch Release
The semi-sweet mead from wildflower honey from Paul Kelly’s apiary in Ring, West Cork, the Irish oak and the single pot still Irish Whiskey from Midleton Distillery, East Cork, culminate in a drink that’s light and quite unique.
And we include a jar of the West Cork wildflower honey.
Tasting Notes: Fragrant floral aromas, a beautiful round mouthfeel, fruity with quite delicate flavours of butterscotch, rose petals, hawthorn, orange peel and blossom, vanilla and cocoa from the oak.
Serve: Pale gold in colour, delicate in its finish, it is best served on its own lightly chilled allowing the soft honeyed notes to linger.
Naturally Gluten Free. Low in sulfites. 70cl bottle.

Store the bottles similar to wine, upright in a cool place away from direct sunlight and they should keep for at least two years. Once opened, store the bottles upright in the fridge. If you have one of those vacuum pump wine bottle closures that pump out the oxygen, all the better. After that the flavour starts to change a little as the air gets to it. Good to drink still or use in cocktails or cooking.
The Atlantic Dry Mead starts to change in flavour after 10 days. The Wild Red Mead and the Hazy Summer Mead are fine for 3 weeks as there are more natural preservatives from the skins. Then they become more port-like.
The Wildflower Mead keeps longer than the others as it’s semi-sweet. Up to a month, if there’s any left by then. Similar for the Barrel Aged and Cask Aged Meads.
This semi-sweet mead shines with food such as Feta-style goat’s cheese, honeyed baklava, a creamy crème brulée or baked New York cheesecake or just as an after dinner sipping.

This Irish Wildflower is something else. I find the taste to be lovely and very much honey. I feel as though I could drink the Irish Wildflower like water. That’s why I’m buying more bottles and I wrote this to ask you to please make more like this one. Here’s hoping you expand and strengthen the Irish Honey industry and all that comes with it. Support Irish Business and Support Irish Bees. Can’t get much better. (John B)
