I've never seen anything commercial that could be called Honey Brandy, or
Mead Brandy. I have _concentrated_ mead by freezing (which is legal, while
distillation for non-fuel purposes is _not_!) and removing the water ice.
It's quite heady when you're done, and comes in at around 40 proof. Won't
quite burn, but you occasionally get a flicker of flame if you try. The
flavour is incredible, to say the least.
There was a Polish liqueur that I once sampled, but the name escapes me. I
was in Europe at the time. Mead it was not, though it claimed to be based
on honey and contained various spices, but was more of a cough syrup than a
drink. About an ounce was all you could possibly stand, it was so cloying.
It did make an admirable cough syrup, though......slept like a baby!
