80 Years
of Bold.

Still smokin'. Still family-made.

New 2026
Smoked Peach & Bourbon
Georgia peach sweetness, slow-smoked depth, a warm bourbon finish. Built for pulled pork and summer cookouts.
New 2026
Carolina Reaper Reserve
Our hottest sauce ever. Reaper heat tempered by molasses and brown sugar. Not for the faint of heart.

The Woody's Story
"She didn't write the recipes down. She cooked them into us."
— Woody Mills, Founder

It started with a kitchen in Jacksonville, Florida. Woody Mills and his mother Grace had cooked together since he was a teenager. When he and his sister Yolanda opened the doors in 1946, every sauce on the table came from Grace's recipes — no measurements, no shortcuts.
