It has been tasted and bottles. It has a very nice honey taste with the good ginger burn on the back of the throat. It only yielded two bottles, but I can make more.
I just got a copy of "The art of dyalling" by John Blagrave from 1609 by Interlibrary Loan. Now to scan it and translate it from Elizabethan English into Modern English. Then I can start making dials.
