Made this about a year ago and it has been aging pretty well. About 12% ABV. I think it still has a slight off-flavour, but that's probably due to not using the best honey.

I find it hard to describe, perhaps as slightly chemical floral flavour and a bit of harshness. Honestly, it's pretty minor and I'm happy with the result overall. I personally think it might be the result of using cheapish honey and maybe some oxidation. I'm a bit lax when it comes to oxidation because I only make small batches and don't have the right equipement to properly avoid it.
