Most Unusual honey I ever tasted was just 10 days ago.  I was helping a trainee with a prolific hive.  The first frame we grabbed was packed with uncapped honey, so we had ourselves a sample.
The honey was spicy and sweet with a hint of cinnamon.  It tasted like a fireball hard candy.  I recall reading somewhere that holly trees can produce honey like this.  The trainee said there are a lot of holly trees in the area.

Next to tulip poplar, this fireball honey is the best I ever tasted.
