Long-term Pre-arrival Items

Long Term Pre-arrival Definition: Ordering wine directly through us from our supplier partners in Europe in advance of the item’s physical arrival in the US.

Long Term Pre-arrival  sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.

This product is offered as a full case purchase option, minimum order quantities may be applicable. When available, multiple case options will be presented. If you are purchasing a Pre-Arrival item you must order a solid case.

The Athanor is a “bochet” style mead inspired by the famed alchemical oven of the same name. Its creation begins with slowly heating raw honey to caramelize it, imparting rich, deep flavors. This caramelized honey is then fermented using two different wine yeasts, resulting in a dark amber ferment. Following the initial fermentation, the meadery carefully ages The Athanor in recently emptied Heaven Hill Whiskey barrels for over a year. During this extended aging process, the mead takes on additional rich notes of chocolate and vanilla, perfectly complementing its caramelized honey base. Dry and brisk the Athanor is a perfect sipper for those chilly nights to come. One can savor its complex flavors and warming embrace in a rocks glass, optionally with a single ice cube to release its aromas.
