Our first release of a barrel aged mead, Lord Jim represents an evolution of flavor for Schramm’s Ginger mead. Aged for four months in hand-selected bourbon barrels, Lord Jim typifies pure ginger root and floral honey accompanied by notes of vanilla, oak and creme brulee with a hint of smooth bourbon. The added complexity from the barrel aging process rounds out and smooths the spiciness of the ginger to create a warm and extremely flavorful mead.

Batch 1 bottle courtesy of Linus. Clear pale golden pour leaving some pronounced legs on the glass with a swirl. Nose-tingling ginger & fresh American oak nose. Moist soil & hints of damp moss. Very light floral honey & vanilla hard candy. Sweet, spicy & earthy taste. Round, slightly viscous & oily mouthfeel. Very balanced with ginger, honey & barrel all playing their parts in harmony. Light very suiting barrel mellowness which impressed me. Very nice! --- Beer merged from original tick of Schramm's Lord Jim on 29 Apr 2017 at 20:49 - Score: 9.
