Gelos Mead, inspired by the Greek god of laughter, is a drink crafted to bring joy and delight with every sip. Named after the deity known for embodying happiness, mirth, and the pure joy of life, this mead is a celebration of the light-hearted moments that lift the spirit and spark laughter. Gelos himself was often invoked during festive gatherings, where laughter flowed as freely as wine. In much the same way, this mead encourages those who drink it to embrace the lighter side of life and savor moments of shared happiness. The flavor profile of Gelos is as enchanting as the god it is named for. With a creamy vanilla base, this mead offers a rich, indulgent taste that immediately brings to mind the smooth sweetness of a boozy cream soda. The vanilla adds warmth and softness to the mead, creating a luxurious mouthfeel that is both comforting and decadent. The honey base of the mead amplifies this sweetness, providing a natural richness that pairs beautifully with the vanilla, enhancing its creamy, dessert-like quality. As the mead unfolds on the palate, subtle notes of spice may emerge, offering a hint of complexity that keeps each sip interesting. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a soft, velvety sensation that makes you crave another taste. Gelos has earned its place as a favorite among mead lovers, winning 1st Place at the 2023 NC Wine Competition and Best of Show in the Mead category. It has also received top honors at the 2021 Washington Mead and Cider Cup and the 2022 Orpheus MeadFest. Much like the god it’s named after, Gelos Mead is a drink that brings laughter, joy, and a smile to your soul, making it an irresistible addition to any occasion.
