Mead is an ancient honey drink that has been a part of celebrations and everyday life in civilizations all over the world. Honey is the key ingredient and acts as a preservative. Bunratty Mead is a Hippocras-style mead, named after Hippocrates who perfected the use of honey to stabilize wine and prevent it from spoiling. Mead can be made in thousands of different ways; of which our brand is one. Produced from a centuries old recipe, Bunratty mead is made with white grape wine and real honey.

Yes indeed! All of our mead is made just down the road from Bunratty Castle. Whether you drink it at Bunratty or the castle of your own, it is the same batches of mead no matter where you enjoy it. Cheers!
