The Process of Making Belle Meade Honey
Belle Meade honey is made using a unique and special process. TruBee Honey sources local wildflower honey and fills empty Belle Meade Bourbon barrels with it. The honey is then aged in the barrels for a period of time, allowing it to gain flavor from the barrel itself. Once the barrels are emptied of the honey, they are refilled with a proprietary blend of bourbon from Nelson Green Brier Distillery and left to finish for an additional 6-8 months. After this time has passed, the honey is extracted, bottled and ready to be enjoyed! This aging process gves Belle Meade Honey its unique flavor profile that is perfect for adding depth to your favorite recipes or just enjoyed on its own.
The Benefits of a Honey Cask
A honey cask is a specially crafted barrel used in distilling spirits that has been infused with raw, organic honey. This infusion gives the spirit an extra layer of flavor complexity, adding a unique sweetness and note of floral aromas to the spirit. The honey used in the cask is carefully sourced from Trubee Honey – an organic, sustainable apiary located in Northern California – and is made from natural nectar collected from wildflowers, clover, and orange blossom. The honey is then filtered through a fine mesh to remove any impurities before being added to the barrel for aging. During this process, the alcohol interacts with the sugars in the raw honey, resulting in an incredibly smooth and flavorful spirit.
The Origins of Belle Meade

The whiskey is made from a blend of corn, rye and malted barley that has been aged for 8-10 years in charred American oak barrels. The distillery uses a unique double-distillation process to produce the signature smooth finish that is characteristic of this bourbon. The whiskey is then bottled by hand at the distillery bfore being released to the public.
