This famed drink, believed to have been discovered by Irish monks during medieval times, galloped through the social circles of everyone from Irish peasants to Irish Saints and from Noblemen to the High Kings of Ireland. Mead has also enjoyed consistent time in the limelight of both Gaelic poetry and Irish folklore.

The fermented product, honey wine, offers flavor variations somewhat reminiscent of a Riesling, ranging from pretty sweet to quite dry.
