from 214 reviewsEnjoyed the flavor and sweetness of this mead. Not overly sweet and very tastful. Still have two other bottles left to try. The gift box is nice just a heads up some assembly required for the box.

I saw an ad for the Butter Bee, and had to try it! It did not disappoint. So smooth and delicious.
As I was ordering i spied the Raspberry. Nothing is better than mead and Raspberry. This is the best mead hands down that I have ever had. Good job. I'm glad to support you!

When I was looking for this, i had just found out about mead and tried a friends suggestion. The one my friend suggested came with a spice packet, it was pretty good! I was then looking at meads online to see what kind were out there and stumbled on this. I had remembered enjoying mixing butterscotch snapps with dark beer. I liked the rich 'cozy' flavor of butterscotch.
The description on this mead said 'butter' and 'butterscotch' and 'caramel'. I was in a bit of disbelief, as I had tried a couple wines of various price and style and they tasted. . .all the same. I thought "theres no way it actually tastes that much like all of these flavors"
I can safely say that I was wrong, this is one of the most unique flavors ive ever tasted. It was everything I was hoping to find. It is very sweet, and has those cozy rich flavors of butterscotch caramel and, believe it or not, has a rich butter flavor that is drawn out at the end. I thought that this flavor would be strange, but no, it was actually incredible. I will be ordering more and trying some of Batch Meads other ones now too.

Excellent taste. As someone who’s never tried mead before I’ll be buying this agin.

My husband tried it and wouldn't give my horn back.😁

So far everything I’ve tried from this box set is delicious ! I mean it ! It’s sweet but not too sweet , and smooth , it goes down way too easy ! Best mead I’ve ever had ! It comes with a lovely display box as well.

From the great feasting halls of Valhalla in Asgard the all father Odin bestows a delicious gift to us mortals in Midgard. Whether you are reveling in the company of your fellow companions before a raid or are celebrating the seasons, this traditional mead is hands down the best for any occasion. Best served chilled even on cold days will warm your spirits.

I absolutely loved the flavor and taste the full body and sweet spice and honey aroma and it's very filling and great paired with any game meat 🍖 i might get

This Mead tasted better than I anticipated. I thought since I have some Viking (Norwegian) heritage, I needed to try it. Thank you.

Delightful! Fast shipping and super safe packaging

I absolutely loved this mead, it was delicious and absolutely worthy of it's name and you guys are amazing, respect to your small family business, and i look forward to receiving my next order and enjoying your amazingly beautifully brewed and crafted "Guds Nektar" ( Nectar of the Gods) Skal!!

Derek Busch has been crafting mead (& hard cider) since 2010. With a passion for mead and a knack for chemistry, he's been perfecting every batch with a focus on continuous improvement.
Everything You Mead to Know
What is Mead?
Mead is alcohol made from honey, water & yeast. We focus on small batches with local honey & REAL fruit. We only ferment the honey (not the fruit) to ensure all alcohol is coming from honey.
YES, Vikings did drink mead.
How Do You Drink & Store Mead?
Mead can be enjoyed at 45 degrees (refrigerator temp) or served at room temp when it's not sparkling. You're welcome to mix spirits, ice or mixers - but we prefer it STRAIGHT.
To store your mead, we recommend keeping it in a cool, dry place, like a wine fridge, or a closet, where temperatures don't change and sunlight isn't hitting the bottle. Once opened mead is best enjoyed in 1-3 days, kept in fridge with bottle stopper, otherwise carbonation starts to slip out.
Otherwise like wine, mead can age, although we like to enjoy within a year.
How Does Shipping Work?
We ship to 42 states in the U.S. Alaska & Hawaii have higher shipping costs due to the voyage.
By law alcohol requires a signature of someone 21+. You can see our shipping policy here.
At this time we do not ship to CT, NJ, SD, UT, AR, MS, DE, AL.
