After some additional tasting of my cinnamon mead, I've changed my mind about the flavour. The cinnamon is actually more powerful than I at first thought. I'm actually hoping that it will mellow a bit with age.
Aging will be the tricky part, though. I'm pretty sure I'll go through a few bottles over the next couple of months, but I'm really hoping to be able to stick a few bottles away in the storage room somewhere and leave them. With any luck, I'll forget they even exist and come across them in another year or two, but that's probably wishful thinking.
For the record, I ended up with twelve full 750mL wine bottles of the cinnamon mead and a bottle that was actually a bit more than half full (possibly even closer to three-quarters full). The half-bottle is gone. I took another bottle over to Kevin's last night. Another bottle will probably get opened this weekend. If I don't find a good pace for mead consumption, it'll all be gone shortly -- and I'd really like to have a couple of bottles for Christmas time.
