This is original mead. With a keen and enquiring mind Ken Maxwell was a student of history, a notable measure of eccentricity saw his passion lean not to the long deceased Kings and Queens filling the educational text books of the time, but to the obscure and creative beverages upon which they indulged.After a decade or more of experimentation with different honey’s and yeasts the famous Maxwell Honey Mead was born. The first commercial label was released in 1966 and with it, the birth the Australian mead industry.Mark Maxwell remains true to the recipe and techniques pioneered by his father. Though the package may have evolved over the years, the quality and purity of the mead has not. A benchmark for others to follow, it has been awarded the ‘best pure varietal mead’ gold medal at the International Mead Festival Competition in the USA.

Mead is a great, ancient drink with a lot of history that everyone should try, unfortunately, Maxwell Honey Mead is one of the worst I've ever had the displeasure of consuming. Please don't let this terrible product be your defining mead experience.

Smooth taste.Excellent mead Great flavours and aftertaste .
This is a good commercial mead.If you aerate this mead like some red wines it makes the flavours come out and develop properly.This mead is not aged like most traditional mead's, so benefits from aeration or a week aging after opening and mixing to bring out the true flavours of this mead.
