Celtic Honey Beekeeper’s Blend is a flavored whiskey produced in Northern Ireland, combining Irish whiskey, all-natural Irish honey and flavors of native Irish flowers, plants and trees. Reformulated in 2023, it is now bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), marking the brand’s transition from a cordial to a flavored whiskey.
According to the brand’s tasting notes, it offers aromas of vanilla, bee pollen and oak, with flavors of clover, honey and vanilla spice. The finish is said to be warm yet delicate, with a subtle hint of Irish whiskey. It retails for $24.99 per 750 mL.
The whiskey hits you first, vanilla and light wood tones, before the honey kicks in. Alongside the usual lightly earthy, caramel-driven notes, there are interesting lemon and peppermint hints to be found here.
