Sourwood honey is one of the most sought after honeys in the world. Due to the density of the sourwood tree, bees can feed entirely on their flowers during peak season, resulting in a monofloral honey. The honey is specific to the United States as the trees grow only within the eastern mountain corridors. The honey can be buttery sweet with a luscious caramel finish.

Garagiste Meadery makes their Sourwood with this honey and some brettanomyces yeast, and ages it all for a bit on tasted oak barrels..
