Blackbutt Honey

Blackbutt honey is dark and strong. Icon Honey describes it as rich, with a hint of molasses and a full caramel flavour that arrives at the back of the mouth. It comes from the blackbutt, a big South West eucalypt that flowers from about November to February.

Of Icon Honey's five honeys here, this is the strong one. Peppi is tangy and peppermint-flavoured, Karri is light golden with a soft, sweet flavour, Blackbutt & Redgum pairs blackbutt's caramel with a peppery, plummy note from redgum, and Wildflower is a floral honey from country north of Perth, not South West nectar. The maker suggests blackbutt on scones or bread with butter or cream, or over porridge.

Gathered from farms at Manjimup, Yallingup, Harvey and Dwellingup and packed by Icon Honey, a family business based near Dunsborough.

Seeing it in person

Icon Honey has a tasting gallery inside Happs Pottery on Caves Road, Anniebrook, between Busselton and Dunsborough. Happs Pottery's own site invites visitors to taste the honey (checked 12 October 2026). Hours are on the maker's site.

Delivery and flying home

We found no delivery details on Icon Honey's website on 12 October 2026, so check postage at its checkout. Honey counts as a gel. On most domestic flights it can go in your cabin bag. On international flights only containers of 100 mL or 100 g or less can, so a 250 g jar goes in checked baggage. Tasmania has its own honey rules. Rules change, so check Home Affairs and your airline, and see our flying-home guide.

Questions

Can I find out where a jar came from?
Each jar has a batch code on its base. The maker says entering it on its site shows where that honey came from.
