This release is an annual release that comes out in the fall of each year!
Discover the latest in the Bees Knees series with the exclusive Bees Knees IV. This limited-edition bourbon is crafted to deliver a warm, honey-rich experience through an expert blend of aged bourbons, each batch uniquely curated for Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
The Georgia batch transforms our classic bourbon by finishing it in wildflower honey barrels sourced from a Georgia apiary, while Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky each offer their own exclusive variations. Each bourbon barrel in these blends has a minimum age of six years, double-barreled in Medium+ Toasted barrels from Kelvin Cooperage, then aged in honey barrels to create an extra layer of complexity.
With proofs between 108 and 118, Bees Knees IV offers rich notes of deep caramel, toasted oak, honeyed vanilla, and a sweet touch that lingers with a smooth, lasting warmth. Please note: this bourbon is unfiltered, preserving natural flavors and character from the honey barrels, which may result in a cloudy appearance or natural sediment in the glass.
Experience the unique taste of Bees Knees IV and find your batch across Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, or Kentucky.
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Honey dominates the nose, and it won’t fade away. Deep notes of caramel, apples, pepper, and honey candies linger in the background.
Mouth
Oh sweet honey, buttery popcorn, cinnamon spice, a “bit o honey” candy-like feel that keeps going, coating your mouth with a honey roasted cashew.
Finish
Bring on the proof. The long, thick, rich, creamy, honey finish remains. The proof lets you know it’s there and wants you to come back for more without overpowering the vanilla, honey, and oak that permeate from the barrel-aging.
