It’s a distilled honey mead that starts as 80% honey and 20% fruit. All of our Bee’s Knees® are created with only the finest honey from Washington beehives and the finest fruit grown in Washington orchards.
We are one of the very few U.S. distilleries making a distilled mead, and when we applied for a label for this unique spirit, the federal permitting agency told us that we were not making a brandy, or anything else that they could define or pigeonhole. What we were making was something unique to us, and we had to find a unique name. We chose Bee’s Knees® because it’s made from bee honey and it is truly the Bee’s Knees, an extraordinary spirit.
The taste of our Bee’s Knees® is as unexpected as it is unique. It’s not sweet, never cloying, and, in fact, many people compare it to the taste of a fine whiskey.
Here’s a roundup of our Bee’s Knees®.
