I did an end grain hickory butcher block with Tightbond II. 1 year of daily
use and no problem at all.

1)Resorcinol
2) Epoxy
The resorcinol will give you the most open time.
Either one will cost 5-10 times TiteBond for the small amount needed.
SFWIW, I use a lot of epoxy, but I'd use resorcinol here because it is
easier to handle.

If you rule out Titebond, then the options are epoxy or urethane or
hideglue (and maybe things like fish glue, and other esoteric
adhesives)
TiteBond is a good choice here but the others should work as well.
Personally, I would probably go with a quality epoxy if I was not
allowed to use Titebond or any of the other glues that are basically
the same as Titebond

Resorcinol, tho expensive, is very permanent -- but I think of it as a bit
brittle. I wonder about using hickory for a solid laminated benchtop.
This species tends to move quite a bit, but is otherwise pretty tough and
durable, and handles[sic] shock well.
