I use a tool similar to this for aerating all my brews, you can also use it to degas before bottling also. https://www.morebeer.com/products/lees-stirrer.html
As for the burn, if it’s over 10-12% I’d hold a bottle or two for a year and see how much the burn mellows, age really helps. I age all my meads about six months before trying the first one, but usually about a year before I start drinking them since they burn a bit.
