🐝 Welcome to Bohemia Apiary on the serene Eastern Shore of Maryland! 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 one of our video showcases the meticulous process of infusing our honey with the essence of bourbon. The marriage of natural sweetness and the woody depth of the oak barrel promises a symphony of tastes that's bound to amaze your senses. But that's not all - in part two, we'll unveil the grand finale. Be sure to subscribe and turn on alerts, so you're the first to know when we reveal the highly anticipated moment of extracting the perfectly aged bourbon-infused honey. We believe this project is a labor of love that will yield truly exceptional results, and we can't wait to share this tantalizing journey with you. Join us, and together, let's explore the remarkable world of beekeeping, craftsmanship, and the art of creating Bourbon Infused Honey. 🍯🥃🌼

Good stuff 🍯 thanks for the share

[@woodlandharvesthoneycompanyllc]

I bet it will have an awesome flavor. Thanks Jason!

[@BohemiaBees]

I hope so Grayson

[@tarheelbeekeeper3971]

Hey Jason, Think it might be ready in time for the expo, would like to try some

[@BohemiaBees]

Not sure. Don’t want to rush it but maybe I’ll test it and see.

[@eddybarker5072]

I’m looking forward to seeing your results on this!

[@BohemiaBees]

So are we. So are we.

[@stkline81]

I aged 5 gallons in a fresh/wet bourbon barrel last season. I left it in for 9 months & it turned out great!

[@BohemiaBees]

That’s awesome to hear you had good results. Did yours leak at all?

[@donbearden1953]

Jason, I’m sure your bourbon honey will be a hit. I know of a local beek that did this last year except he added Madagascar Vanilla Beans to his barrel and his entry in the AL Welsh Honey show took 1st place for that class. Good luck with your infused honey!

[@BohemiaBees]

That’s a great idea Don I may try that in a future batch.

[@Davidh510]

hear me out, use the bourbon barrel aged honey to make a traditional mead that is then aged in the bourbon barrel that aged the honey.

[@infinitybottleevolution7451]

Awesome video. I’m trying a sort of reversed process. I just got a new oak barrel (5 Liter). In going to fill her with honey. Let it sit a few months. Then going to use that honey for fermenting garlic I’m currently growing. As for the honey infused bourbon I’m going to pour 5 bottles of cask strength bourbon in to honey finish the whiskey.

[@adamsoutdoors]

Love the idea, I have a local guy tat does maple syrup. He does a bourbon aged maple syrup. It is great so I’m sure the honey will be as well.

[@BohemiaBees]

That sounds amazing

[@CastleHives]

Very interesting. I'd be curious what it tastes like. For future reference, would you wax it before the honey goes in?

[@BohemiaBees]

I think if I knew it would leak at all I may have done that prior but didn’t think it would. It’s a learning process

[@Jkfarms-JustinJohnson]

I’m curious if it’ll just have the bourbon flavor or if it’ll have a little alcohol content with it as well.

[@BohemiaBees]

I think it will have hints of both

[@jessicafairfax_Bens_Bees]

Jason Can't wait for the second video. Never had bourbon honey myself but I sure do like some wild turkey American Honey whiskey. I imagine the bourbon honey being even better.

[@BohemiaBees]

We can’t wait to taste this also

[@amoser6860]

Hey man, How can I reserve a bottle of the completed product? April

[@BohemiaBees]

We don’t want to reserve any yet from this first batch because we aren’t sure how much we will end up with or how the final product will taste.

[@breezyhollowbees1237]

What was the source of the barrel? Do they have them available?

[@breezyhollowbees1237]

I apologize. I saw it in the notes, thanks.

[@BohemiaBees]

No problem
