The Hive 12

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Wemyss Malts

ABV: 40%

Score: 87 Points

This Blended Malt has notes of honey, ginger, and a mild touch of allspice on the nose. The taste is warming and spicy with honey and orange pekoe tea, hints of ginger and cinnamon, and a touch of lemon peel leading into the finish, which fades smoothly with a slightly licorice-like aftertaste. (January, 2013)
