Made this about a year ago and it has been aging pretty well. About 12% ABV. I think it still has a slight off-flavour, but that’s probably due to not using the best honey.

    It looks good at least! How would you describe the off flavor? Hot, as in fusel alcohol or solvent? Acidic? Meaty (for lack of a better word, could be described as umami)?

      I find it hard to describe, perhaps as slightly chemical floral flavour and a bit of harshness. Honestly, it’s pretty minor and I’m happy with the result overall. I personally think it might be the result of using cheapish honey and maybe some oxidation. I’m a bit lax when it comes to oxidation because I only make small batches and don’t have the right equipement to properly avoid it.
