Honey Shine
Honey Shine is a truly unique product, you will NEVER EVER find this product in any other distillery's portfolio. Nebraska Honey is fermented and distilled, notes of clove and floral tones are carried through the distillation process. We wanted to take this spirit a bit further and added butterfly pea flower to give it a beautifully unique color which changes with the pH of whatever you mix into your cocktail, changing from purple to ultraviolet or royal blue.
Our owner, Greg, loves to channel his inner Pooh Bear and consumes more honey than is probably healthy. Honey has been an intricate part of our beer menu and Greg wanted to keep that going in the distillery with Honey Shine. This spirit was always a hair brained dream until Greg met his friends at C-Bee Honey in Randolph. Johnnie Byrd is the only distillery in Nebraska and one of a handful in the U.S. who makes a distilled spirit using solely honey as a base. It's such a rare process, there's not really an industry standard name for this spirit.
Honey Shine is fine on the rocks or in a cocktail. We'd love to hear what cocktails you've made with this one of a kind spirit. Drop us a comment on any of a Socials or shoot us an email.
ABV 35% Proof 70
Suggested Cocktails:
- Honey Shine, honey simple syrup, splash of lemon juice and water
- Honey Shine Old fashioned -- just substitute Honey Shine for bourbon in your favorite old fashioned

At Johnnie Byrd, we DO NOT use some big name distillery's raw product, re-distill, then slap our own label on it. Every single batch is grain to glass. That means we are intimately involved with the product from start to finish, sourcing every single grain or raw product used, brewing all our own washes, choosing the perfect yeast strain and then distilling the final product. We are a small batch distillery, made by two hands that love every minute of the creation process. Our batch size is 30 to 100 bottles, so please bear with us as we try to keep up with your love for our product.
