Calling bourbon drinkers! How about a shot of bourbon with a sweet and hot flavor.
Detroit City Distiller released a limited-edition of the spirit called Hot Honey Bourbon. It’s crafted with Bees in the D honey, a local spot that places hives across the state on rooftops, turning them into pollinator sanctuaries.

The distillery describes the bourbon as starting out “smooth with honey and bourbon sweetness,” and finishing with “a satisfying kick of heat.”
You can buy a small batch online. Once ordered, customers can pick up the bourbon starting at 4 p.m. Friday at the Detroit City Distillery Tasting Room in Eastern Market. Bottles of Hot Honey Bourbon are $60. As of 12 p.m., there were still bottles available online.
Detroit City Distillery’s first collaboration with Bees in the D was in 2019 with its Honey Bourbon made with honey harvested from hives atop the distillery’s historic building in Eastern Market.
