- Packager: Whistle Creek Apiaries, 440 Ebenezer Circle, Lexington, Virginia 24450; (540) 463-7732 http://whistlecreekapiaries.com/
- Nectar Origin: Presumably Virginia or Southeastern United States
- Color: Amber
- Filtration: Raw
- Price: $12.00/pound
- Flavor: This is a complex honey. There are flavor notes that can be described as pine and cinnamon, but the dominant flavor note, in my view, is that of Coca-Cola. Others have mentioned black current as a flavor, although I am not ready to commit to that just yet -- at least not for this jar.

- Nectar Origin: Norfolk, England, UK
- Color: White or Extra Light Amber
- Filtration: Raw
- Price: $14.30/pound
- Flavor: This has a strong floral taste at first and then a bit of a hay-like note. There is also a strong chemical flavor at the finish. The overall effect is that of a perfumed chemical cleaner or deodorizer. It's still honey and it's still sweet, but those unusual flavor notes detract.

- Nectar Origin: California
- Color: Amber to Dark Amber
- Filtration: Raw
- Price: $10.66/pound
- Flavor: The dark color is a dead give-away that this honey is going to have a darker, more bitter flavor than a light honey. There are strong molasses-like flavors. Toffee too. Smoky and woodsy come to mind too. There is also a hint of licorice at the finish.

- Nectar Origin: Spain
- Color: Water White or Extra White
- US Grade: None listed
- Filtration: Raw
- Price: $21.33/pound
- Flavor: The bottle describes this honey as herbaceous with a sweet finish. To me it has an extraordinarily floral flavor with a bit of a chemical-like finish. The flower flavor is so strong that it dominates even in baked goods. I mixed a teaspoon into bread dough and could hardly taste the bread for the strong floral taste from the honey.

- Flavor: The dominant flavor here is floral. I also thought I detected a fennel or anise-like flavor. The finish is firmly a warm tone. Caramel, brown sugar and toffee come to mind.
