Feel the Burn: Hot Honey Bourbon Drops August 8

Next Friday, August 8, we unleash something new and slightly dangerous: Hot Honey Bourbon, made with local honey from our friends at Bees in the D.

This bottle isn’t just a sweet little sipper. It’s a sweet–heat hammer, crafted to light up your cocktails, your taste buds, and maybe your weekend plans.

🍯 What It Is

This isn’t some novelty flavored whiskey.This is Detroit-style heat.

We took our house bourbon, smooth, rich, and aged with patience and infused it with local honey from Bees in the D, then finished it off with a proprietary blend of chili heat. The result? A beautifully balanced spirit that starts mellow, then finishes with a fire.

You’ll taste it first in a Gold Rush, an Old Fashioned with attitude, or just straight up in a glass when you’re feeling bold. It’s the bottle we reach for when we want to surprise a bourbon snob or warm up on a stormy Michigan night.

📦 Bottle Info

• Goes on sale: Friday, August 8 at 8 a.m. online

• Pickup begins: 4 p.m. at the DCD Tasting Room in Eastern Market

• Price: $60 per bottle

🎉 Release Party at the Tasting Room

We're throwing a little party to mark the burn. Here’s what’s going down:

• 🐝 Bees in the D onsite with honey tastings + local product sales

• 🍕 First 75 guests get a slice of Mootz Bee Sting Pizza

• 🍸 Hot Honey Bourbon cocktails at the bar

• 🍯 Bees in the D Hot Honey also drops online at 8 a.m. for pickup

🍯 Why Bees?

Because Detroit’s bee scene is stronger than ever, and no one brings the heat like Bees in the D. This is the second time we’ve teamed up (remember Summer Rum?) — and this one might be our most electric collab yet.
