It took us longer than expected but after several weeks we had time to pull the test honey super and wrap up our experience in this video.

We're passionate about the ancient art of beekeeping and crafting the finest honey nature has to offer. Our love for the craft led us on an exciting journey that we can't wait to share with you. In this captivating two-part series, we invite you into our world as we delve into the creation of something truly extraordinary: Bourbon Infused Honey. Picture this - a freshly dumped 5-gallon oak bourbon barrel from Southeast Barrel Shop in Raleigh, North Carolina, brimming with the rich aromas of aged spirits. Our 2023 local raw honey, harvested with meticulous care, meets this barrel in a harmonious fusion of flavors. But the inspiration didn't stop there. After savoring a jar of the renowned Orange Blossom Barrel Aged Honey, a delightful collaboration between Angel's Envy Distillery and Savannah Bee Company, we were driven to create our very own, distinctive blend. Part two we unveil the final product after a 400 day age we extract the honey that crystallized in the barrel, warming it slowly to get almost 5 gallons, which we screened once and bottled this amazing goodness We believe this project is a labor of love and as we thought yielded exceptional results. We are NOT selling this product on our website but if you are local and want to try a bottle PM us and we will see what we can do Please be aware that the content within this channel is produced, edited, and shared by Jason Crook, the proprietor and operator.
