Had a quick taste. Slightly medicine-y and thin. But it is Mead Lite.
I'm going to leave it for a day or two and bottle it up.
Definately going to add honey (not Leatherwood!) for a slight sparklehttp://www.winensuds.com/ Gotta love this hobby

Plus the medicinal taste is the alcohol content over riding the taste of the honey.
follow Roberts suggestion, but then I'd still age it for a couple of months, before doing anything else.......either that, or post Roberts suggestion, back sweeten (quite a lot - maybe up to 1020 as you want the carbonation but also to up the flavour of the honey) and then bottle it in champagne bottles, making sure that you're using plastic stoppers and wire cages.
then put it somewhere cool for a couple of months.
Oh and like "champoo", serve well chilled.

I basically added a couple of teaspoons of bland honey per litre bottle and put it away.
I've chilled one and tasting now, it's not too bad. A slight sparkle to keep it drinkable, there is the hint menthol but it's not too overpowering.
Would I do this again? Yes. I'd like to try it with heather honey.
