With a distinctive bacon-like smokiness, Harry’s Hickory Smoked Honey adds an unexpected layer of flavor to meats, poultry, vegetables, cheese, desserts, and cocktails.

The Sweet Meets the Smoke

Harry’s Hickory Smoked Honey began with a simple idea: what happens when the natural sweetness of Harry’s signature wildflower honey meets the deep, unmistakable character of hickory smoke?

After approximately seven hours in the smoker, the honey takes on a remarkably complex flavor profile. The sweetness of the honey remains at the forefront, while layers of warm wood smoke, savory richness, and a subtle bacon-like character develop underneath.

The result is a culinary honey that bridges the gap between sweet and savory in a way that is both familiar and completely unexpected.

Seven Hours of Hickory Flavor

This isn’t honey with smoke flavor added to it. Harry’s honey is carefully smoked for approximately seven hours, giving the hickory character time to slowly develop and integrate with the honey.

The finished honey delivers an enticing smoky aroma followed by the rich sweetness of wildflower honey and a savory finish reminiscent of smoked bacon. That unique combination makes it especially compelling when paired with grilled, roasted, or smoked foods.

Culinary Versatility

Harry’s Hickory Smoked Honey was made for the kitchen and the cocktail bar.

Drizzle it over roasted or grilled poultry, brush it onto bacon or other meats, use it as a finishing glaze, or pair it with sharp and aged cheeses. It also brings an incredible smoky-sweet dimension to vegetables, breakfast dishes, and other savory favorites.

And don’t stop at food. A spoonful in a cocktail can completely change the experience. Use it to create a smoky twist on classics like the Bee’s Knees or Gold Rush, where the honey’s natural sweetness and hickory character add depth and complexity to every sip.

A Smoky Sweet-Savory Experience

The magic of Harry’s Hickory Smoked Honey is its balance. The smoke doesn’t simply overpower the honey—it works alongside it.

First comes the familiar sweetness of wildflower honey. Then comes the warm character of hickory, followed by a savory, bacon-like finish that keeps you coming back for another taste.

It’s an unexpected flavor combination that makes even familiar foods feel new.

Premium Wildflower Honey

At the heart of every jar is the same quality wildflower honey that made Harry’s Honey special in the first place. Sourced from North Shore beehives in Glencoe, Illinois, the raw, unfiltered honey provides the perfect canvas for the slow-smoking process.

The natural floral sweetness of the honey gives the hickory smoke something to complement rather than compete with, creating a finished product that is bold without losing its identity as honey.

Small Batch Craftsmanship

Each batch of Harry’s Hickory Smoked Honey is carefully smoked and monitored to develop the right balance of sweetness and smoke. The approximately seven-hour smoking process gives every batch time to develop its distinctive character while preserving the rich flavor and texture of the honey.

This is handcrafted honey with a decidedly savory side.

Gourmet Gift Appeal

Harry’s Hickory Smoked Honey makes an unforgettable gift for grill masters, home cooks, cocktail enthusiasts, foodies, and anyone who loves discovering flavors they’ve never experienced before.

It’s the kind of honey that sparks a conversation the moment someone opens the jar—and inspires them to start experimenting in the kitchen.

From Glencoe to the Grill
