Born in Nova Scotia.
Built on Frustration.
Crazy Devil Magic didn't start in a corporate boardroom; it started with a genuine frustration over the state of the sauce aisle. We were tired of seeing mass-produced hot honeys and BBQ glazes that were watered down, loaded with artificial shortcuts, and completely lacking real depth. We were done with compromising, so we decided to build something better from the ground up, right here in Nova Scotia.
Founded by Barry Sherman, our mission became clear: to restore integrity to flavor. We took to the kitchen with an obsession for craftsmanship, dedicating months to relentless testing and tweaking. We refused to cut corners, focusing instead on perfecting small, controlled batches where every detail matters.
Our origin story is rooted in a commitment to quality and the natural complexity of premium, locally sourced Canadian ingredients. We partner with regional farmers and distillers to source real Canadian maple, local honey, and authentic craft bourbon—because true magic requires authentic foundations.
When you crack the signature wax seal on a bottle of Crazy Devil Magic, you are getting the direct result of that initial obsession. You can expect a complex, smooth, and robust flavor experience designed for those who want to transform their grilling, roasting, and dipping into something extraordinary.
A great meal deserves a great finish. We make it small, we make it bold, and we make it right here at home.
