I had to go to the liquor store this morning to get some stuff for my daughter to make Thanksgiving dinner, and got a couple things for myself. I'm currently enjoying some Ardbeg 10yr in a nifty little tasting glass that came with it, and later I'll have some Klapøjster Mjød. The bottle was attractive, and I'm thinking about giving some as a gift, but wanted to trial it first.
Update:
The Klapøjster Mjød is pretty damned good. I've never had mead that I can remember, so I can't compare it to anything, but I dig the taste. I think it'll make a fine gift. A little spendy at $32, but it'll make a nice winter treat.
