MYSTO MEAD — Carmel, NY

DESCRIPTION: Mysto Mead is a craft meadery nestled in the hills of Putnam County. We use local raw honey and Hudson Valley well water to make a variety of different meads using herbs and barrels. Mead is a alcohol based drink made from fermented honey and water. Our name comes from Mysto the Magician - to make reference to the magic of nature found in bees, honey, fermentation and plants. Our magic hat logo is the cup of mead, the fermenter and the beehive all at once. We aim to use the healing plants in complement with the power of honey, fermentation and it’s end product alcohol. Our founder Robert Klein is a practicing herbalist and best seller is an Elderberry mead - a delicious, robust, slightly sweet aperitif or digestif that has all the complex fig, grape and cherry flavors of the amazing and powerful Elderberry. Our flagship product is a Basil Mint mead, a silver medal winner at the prestigious Mazer Cup. It’s dry and complex, drinks like a fine white wine, super summery, and pairs well with many foods. Our cofounder Kurt Swanson specializes in barrel-rested mead blends using local rye whiskey barrels (Rye-Soaked Oak) and even local rum barrels (Rum Soaked Oak)! Catch us at in local wine festivals all summer. Salud, Prost, Slainté, to Life!
