Righteo, through the week I bottled the cinnamon and clove batch. This one is smoooooooth as shit!! Doesn’t really have “taste” per se but it’s definitely smooth. Not sweet, not dry. Can just taste the honey and no strong alcohol “burn”. I like it, my test subjects like it so I think it’s a win. Got a few in law family members from Italy here and they’ve tried it and love it. So a nod from a wog on a wine is a bonus... haha.
Personally, I think next time I do this I will add 2-3 cinnamon sticks and the same cloves. I like cinnamon and would like this to show through.
