This very special honey was made in collaboration with Ko'olau Distillery in Kailua, Oahu. This honey is crafted in small batches by aging raw Hawaiian Honey in Bourbon barrels. The honey contains no alcohol; it gets its wonderful smoky bourbon-oak flavor from barrel.
After we remove the honey, we return the barrels to Ko'olau Distillery where they produce a limited edition Honey Bourbon in the same barrels.
Add our Bourbon Barrel Honey to hot tea, coffee or drizzle on homemade hotcakes, biscuits, cornbread or pour over bread pudding or vanilla ice cream. Also, fantastic as a barbecue glaze.
Do not feed honey to infants under one year of age.
Size: 10 oz

At Kailua Honey, beekeeping is a true labor of love.

Founded in 2019, Kailua Honey started as a backyard beekeeping endeavor, motivated by a passion for the declining honeybee populations and the vital role they play in pollinating local plants. The family takes great care to respect the bees, particularly during winter months when they focus on survival. By practicing sustainable methods and sourcing locally, Kailua Honey proudly contributes to the vitality of their beloved community, creating products that not only celebrate the essence of Hawaii but also support the ecosystem
