Wemyss Malts The Hive Blended Malt Scotch Whisky Review
Wemyss Malts bases the name for each of its blended expressions on the profile of the liquid in the bottle. This expression, a mixture of more than a dozen malts matured for at least eight years, borrows its name from luxurious honey notes present on both nose and palate. Prepare for a liberal dose of baking spices, too, and vibrant energy on the palate.
