Updated April 2026.
“Honey whiskey” is flavor language, not a TTB class. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey prints as a whiskey specialty at 35% / 70 proof on Brown-Forman’s US sheet — not bourbon. Wild Turkey American Honey prints 71 proof on the official page. A 1.5-ounce pour at 35% is 0.88 NIAAA drinks. Other honey SKUs — read those necks. Flavored/specialty may sit under 40%. No 2026 ranking or MSRP.
