Jim Beam Honey vs Jack Daniel’s Honey: What’s the Difference?

Updated April 2026.

These are honey specialties, not straight bourbon or Tennessee whiskey by class. Brown-Forman’s US product-info sheet prints Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey at 35% Alc. by Vol. (70 proof) as a whiskey specialty. Jim Beam Honey is honey liqueur plus Jim Beam bourbon on the official page — no ABV printed there. A 1.5-ounce pour at 35% is 0.88 NIAAA drinks.

Related: honey bourbon, flavored bourbon, honey whiskey.

JD Tennessee Honey 0.88

Straight whiskey 1.00 at 40%

A 750 mL 35% bottle is about 15 drinks. Four Honey pours at 35% are about 3.5 drinks. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
