They say legends never die, and when it comes to the legacy operators up on the Hill, they continue to find ways to thrive against the odds.
As for experienced hash makers like Errl Hill, the secret is to consistently make the right moves for the right reasons, and never compromise on quality.
With roughly half a century of hash-making experience between them, co-owners Scott Harris and Harry Ballance built a reputation for quality over the decades. Until 2021, they were focused entirely on being one of the best butane hash oil producers in the field, known for pitching major heaters, such as their unforgettable Blueberry Muffin Live Resin.
They’ve since grown their live rosin lineup, washing DNA Genetics strains they cultivate in-house to bring new terpenes to the solventless market. Now, roughly 30% of their overall production is live rosin, and their earned expertise in the category shows.
Honey Berriez is one of the newest to come out of their lab, and it’s a delectable confection in a jar. It’s a DNA cross between Honey Banana and Ztrawberry Banana that’s washed using 73u-159u bags, and it is a creamy delight. Candied fruit and honey tones linger after a bright, airy dab, making us thirsty for another sip on a sunny day.
Keep your eye out for other flavors dropping soon. Word has it, they’re even looking to work with some other farms on new expressions as demand outpaces their in-house cultivation capacity.
In the meantime, we’ll daydream about what other legends from the Hill they might link up with. Makes you salivate just thinking about it.
