Four Roses Bourbon and Ooni Pizza Ovens Team Up to Create “Barrel Aged Honey”
Four Roses Distillery, the award-winning Kentucky-based bourbon brand, and Ooni Pizza Ovens, the creator and leader of the home pizza oven market, has announced the release of Ooni & Four Roses Bourbon Barrel Aged Honey. The new limited edition product is an ode to summer’s perfect pairing – pizzas and cocktails – and taps into both brands’ dedication to bringing people together to create lasting
memories.
This summer, Four Roses aims to shine a light on the versatility of bourbon, a spirit commonly reserved for the colder fall and winter months. To urge consumers to incorporate Four Roses into their summer rotation, the brand collaborated with Ooni Pizza Ovens to craft the perfect ingredient that can be mixed and matched, bringing together the elevated flavors of sweet and savory. To show just a few of the ways the Ooni & Four Roses Bourbon Barrel Aged Honey can be used, Four Roses’ lead mixologist, Abby Martinie, and Ooni’s chefs have created complementary cocktail and pizza pairings using the bourbon barrel aged honey to showcase different flavor profiles that can be enjoyed over cherished summer moments.
The Process of Barrel Aging The Honey: The bourbon barrel aged honey was crafted in partnership with Bohman Bee Company, specialists in creating local raw honey. Once sourced, the honey was then aged in ex-Four Roses barrels that once aged its Small Batch bourbon. The barrels were freshly dumped and never rinsed to fully impart the richest essence of bourbon. The end result is a honey with tasting notes of ripened red berries and dried spices, perfect for drizzling on freshly made pizza and a sweetener in summer cocktails.
PRICING AND WHERE TO BUY: The 10 ounce bottle of Ooni & Four Roses Bourbon Barrel Aged Honey is now available for purchase on Ooni Pizza Ovens’ website (SRP $16), as well as on ReserveBar as a bundle with Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon (SRP $51.99).
Those visiting Bourbon Country this summer can also purchase the honey at the Four Roses Distillery Visitor Center located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, while supplies last. For more information, and for all of the cocktail and pizza recipes, visit https://www.fourrosesbourbon.com/cocktails.
