Odd Society Spirits

If you like honey and whiskey, then keep your fingers crossed for some of this AMAZING honey in your stocking this year! In collaboration with Hives for Humanity, this Whisky Barrel-Aged Honey uses raw East Van honey aged in charred, honey comb style whisky barrels. With mellow floral notes of apricot and oak, this would be perfect drizzled in tea or on ice cream.
