Barrel-Aged Meads
All of our barrel-aged meads are unique and available in limited quantities. Due to the nature of barrel-aging, even batches that use the same recipe will turn out somewhat differently. Our barrel program is just starting out, but will continue to expand over time.
Apfel-Honigwein "Apple Honey Wine"
A traditional Cyser aged in a Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrel. Northern Spy apples pair up with wildflower honey and start to sing with the integration of the bourbon; notes of spice, leather, a touch of cocoa, a little smoke, toasty oak and vanilla cream with a hint of butterscotch.
Bienenstich "Bee Sting"

Anbruch "Beginning"
A mead made with wildflower honey, coffee, blackberries, and raspberries. The coffee was specially roasted for us using 100% solar power by Off Grid Forever. Aged in a Templeton Rye Whiskey barrel.

The culmination of a lot of mead mad science that has helped shape Waldmet Cellars up to this point. A mead made with organic wildflower honey, tart cherry, and lots of herbs & spices (16 different ones), then aged in a Templeton Rye Whiskey barrel. Think about it like the smoothest Manhattan you've ever sipped.

Strandurlaub "Beach Vacation"
A tropical mead aged in a Jamaican Rum barrel. Crafted from wildflower honey, soursop, and tangerine. Then flavored with Azacca™, Idaho 7™, and Zythos® hops and a healthy dose of meadowfoam honey. Strong citrus and tropical fruit notes combine with vanilla, butterscotch, coconut, and a bit of toasted marshmallow. One sip will whisk you away to the islands. This is a collaboration with Pendley Creek Brewing Company. They hand-selected the hops and also lent a hand in making it.
