I love the unfiltered honey right from the comb!
We have something in common then. 
I also greatly enjoy real
molasses. From Maple trees. A friend gave me a mason jar full of
Tennessee molasses, but, it didn't come from a Maple tree. They
swear I won't notice any difference (I haven't tried any of it
yet), but, I suspect I will; considering how much and how often I
gorged myself on it growing up. I actually tapped Maple trees
when I was a teenager to obtain what would become Molasses from
the trees, but, I'm completely lost as to how they make Molasses
here without the tree. Culture shock you might say is an under
statement in this case. I've been down here for a long time now,
but, I still don't understand some things about the south.
I think you might have maple syrup confused with molasses .
Maple
syrup is made by boiling the excess water out of the sap of the
maple tree , molasses is made from the sorghum plant . Two
entirely different things ...
What part of the south do you live in ?

Hmm. It's possible. It's been a long time since I've done that. I'm
in TN...
Reading this, where does Jack Daniels get it's wood?
Jack Daniel's is not a bourbon - it's a Tennessee Whiskey. Jack
Daniel's is dripped slowly - drop-by-drop - through ten feet of firmly
packed charcoal (made from hard sugar maple) before going into new
charred oak barrels for maturing.
I don't know ... I drink Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Sour Mash
Bourbon Whiskey . Straight . Smewwwwth ...

It's aged in oak barrels but maybe not made from over 51% corn. They
claim the sugar maple charcoal filtration but apparently sugar maple
trees come from New England. From Wiki:
The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5)
state that bourbon made for U.S. consumption[18] must be:
Produced in the United States[19]
Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn[20]
Aged in new, charred oak containers[20]
Distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)[20]
Entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5%
alcohol by volume)[20]
Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by
volume)[21]
I don't drink much hard stuff and prefer Scotch whiskey made from barley.
