A few years ago an old buddy of mine found a bottle of our first mead tucked away in the bottom of his closet. It had been there for at least 15 years. He tasted it but said it was not worth drinking. It was not particularly good to begin with though.
I've had batches just not do the secondary ferment and never get any good.
I made 25L of simple mead and bottled it in 250ml nottles as the wedding favor for our wedding guests, and the label said "best after" a certain date because it was too young to drink. We parlayed this into part of our ceremony about how good things improve with time, like relationships blah blah blah (it was actually quite nice)
