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

🎉 Release Party at the Tasting Room

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