Barrel Aged Basic Batch
Once a year that special day occurs that lets us know our favorite season (the holiday season) is right around the corner. That day, is when Starbucks brings the Pumpkin Spice Latte back for all to enjoy. The release of that drink tell us that Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are just around the corner. And it reminds us that the barrel we set to rest a year ago is ready to come out of it's time of slumber.
Basic Batch is the mead version of the pumpkin spice latte. Starting out as a Meadowfoam honey wine, the base for holiday favorite is rested in bourbon barrels for the better part of a year. Once it comes out a blend of coffee, vanilla, and pumpkin/warming spices are added over the period of 2 weeks. This allows for each of the ingredients to pull flavor at their own pace and for us to reach the desired flavor blend.
