Pre-Order Valentines Day Mead - Cupids Sweet Kiss

Valentines Day is coming up and New Mead is coming out from Isaaks of Salem.  I have been in the meadery putting together new mead for the whole year, and I am happy to announce that our Cupids Sweet Kiss is our second seasonal mead!

This brand new mead is available for pre-order only HERE!

Our last seasonal sold out in 4 days (Christmas Cranberry).  This one I expect to sell out as well and so please order today or tomorrow if you want to be guaranteed a bottle for Valentines Day.  Delivery will start on or right after January 20th 2012.

Cupids Sweet Kiss is a combination of cranberry, raspberry, and local Massachusetts Honey.  The honey adds sweetness and balance to the cran-raspberry fruit, creating a balance of sweet honey and light berry flavor in the mouth.  The mead starts out with berry's on your tongue the honey a balances the tartness of the fruit and adds a touch of sweetness.  The finish is smooth with a bit of tannin to round out the flavor which leaves your mouth slightly dry and wanting another sip.  You can't get this small-batch mead in California or France, only here in Massachusetts, so please enjoy our second seasonal mead and enjoy all the kisses you will receive if you share it!

The initial taste-tests are going EXTREMELY well (lots of different people are liking this), so please consider Pre-Ordering NOW before we sell out if you want a bit of Cupids Sweet Kiss for Valentines Day. 

Happy New Year Mead for 2012

2012 will be a fantastic year for Isaaks of Salem.  We have so many great new things lined up, from being involved with Salem So Sweet, to the North Shore Folk Festival, to being an integral part of local farmers markets, and bringing out MANY new flavors of local Mead!  I hope you are as excited as I am, as we will be announcing our new Valentines Mead in the coming Days.  Right now we are just finishing up the artwork and it will be out VERY soon.  So please stay close to the blog to catch the news.

As always you can pick up our mead directly from our online website and not pay any shipping (we deliver or in most cases give free shipping if you order more than three bottles)  www.isaaksofsalem.myshopify.com

Merry Christmas ...Mead Glasses next time?

This was just so cool I had to share!  I am sure many of you and yours have sugar plumb fairies dancing in your brains.  I mean, It is just 10 more days until Christmas, and I for one and enjoying the season.  Probably at the expense of Isaaks of Salem and this blog, but it is so worth it, play hookie everyone and enjoy the Month of December in Salem.

Christmas Cranberry Mead - SOLD OUT

I hate to be writing this post, as our goal is to always have enough mead for our community.  However, the cranberry has far exceeded our expectations in Pre-Order and it has now SOLD OUT.  Apparently Pre-Ordering online was the only way to Gaurantee a bottle of this beautiful cranberry mead for christmas. 

THE GOOD NEWS, is that even though we are sold out for this 2011 season, we do have some on the shelf at  Pamplemousse, Salem Wine Imports, Winchester Wine and Spirits, and soon at the Craft Beer Cellar in Belmont.  All these stores ordered ahead of time during the pre-order period and will be receiveing inventory soon (if they haven't already recieved thier allocation).  Unfortunetly, we don't have any left for our other stores around Boston.  So, if you are looking for Christmas Cranberry, and are near one of these stores, I suggest you get down there soon.  Pamplemouse will probably have Christmas Cranberry Mead through next week, but then I expect it to be sold out there too. 

And when it's gone, it's all gone.

Good luck and thank you for your patience, and we will be making FAR more next year, and we will be making larger 'test' batches in the coming months, so we don't sell out so quickly of our seasonal and small batch mead.

Description: Our Christmas Cranberry Mead has a light sweet cranberry flavor.  The honey adds sweetness and balance to the cranberry fruit, creating a harmony of sweet honey and fruity cranberries in the mouth.  The mead is extremely smooth and finishes with a classic cranberry flavor on the tongue.  You can't get this mead in California or France, only here in Massachusetts, so please enjoy our frist seasonal mead and Merry Christmas!

New HD Video - Popp Road Raspberry Mead

We made it back up to Popp Farm in Dresden Maine this past week to get our Raspberries for our new vintage of Popp Road Raspberry.  David Popp was friendly as usual, and had plenty of great fruit for us to bring back and create some more mead.  The big news though, is that we will be making a sweet version and the traditional dry version.  Everyone seems to love the sweeter styles of mead out there, so we need to get in on the sweet mead love.  We still have some dry left from last year's vintage, but this year's fruit had to get started or we would be sold out soon!

Enjoy the quick video and thanks again for being a part of the Isaaks of Salem community.  More news on the new meads (including our Christas Cranberry) in our next post! 

For the real Isaaks of Salem geeks, here is last years Popp Road Video.
