Description
The Wemyss family has had a longstanding passion for malt whisky and their connections with the industry date back to the turn of the 19th century when John Haig (founder of Haig's) built his first distillery on Wemyss land.
Even today barley from the Wemyss Estate is prized by many of the leading distillers, and Cameronbridge Distillery is located just a few miles from the castle itself.
They use the taste and aromas of the individual whiskies to identify each bottling, rather than the distillery, so the consumer can more easily understand the style being purchased.
Up to sixteen different single malt whiskies are expertly blended together before introducing the signature malts to create three distinct taste profiles under Charles Maclean's guidance: 'Spicy' (Spice King), 'Peaty' (Peat Chimney) and 'Honeyed' (The Hive).
This Hive, a Speyside oriented blended malt.The Hive is made with a good chunk of sherry matured whisky to give a fruity and spicy dram.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Natural honeycomb combines with dessert spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger; laced with sweet orange and exotic lychee.
Palate: A lively ginger warmth rolls over the tongue, while malty oatcakes drizzled with honey are to the fore.
Finish: Allspice and nutmeg on the tail.
