Pips Meadery — Amalgamation

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Amalgamation Barrel Aged pours as a luxurious melomel layering orange blossom honey over a kaleidoscope of fruit. Expect a generous medley of black currant, raspberry, cherry, plum and peach, woven together into a jammy, fruit-forward core. Time in barrel rounds the profile with soft vanilla, toasted oak and a whisper of warming spice, framing the honey’s floral lift. Rich yet balanced, the mead carries a plush mouthfeel and gentle residual sweetness, while bright fruit acidity keeps every sip lively. A sought-after expression of Pips’ artisanal, small-batch craftsmanship.

Food Pairing

Pair with a bold cheese board featuring aged gouda, blue cheese, dried fruits and toasted nuts to echo the honey, oak and dark berry tones. For dessert, try a vanilla bean cheesecake topped with macerated stone fruit or berries, allowing the melomel’s fruit-forward sweetness and barrel-driven vanilla to harmonize beautifully.
