It is non-chill filtered and bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) in a 700ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWemyss (pronounced Weems) Malts is the independent whisky house of the Wemyss family, whose ancestral seat, Wemyss Castle, has stood on the Fife cliffs for more than six centuries. The family names its blended malts after their flavour, and The Hive is meant for heather-honey fans. The recipe is about 62% light, sweet and soft Speyside single malts, 8% richly flavoured Speyside malt for support, and 30% fruity Speyside malt as the signature. It was relaunched in 2020 as a no-age-statement whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose comes a bouquet of florals and sticky blossom honey. Zesty orange and ginger tingle on the palate, and the finish is warm and zesty, with clove-spiked grapefruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacked in its golden, honeycomb-patterned box, it is a cheerful gift. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or long as a Hive-Ball with cloudy lemonade and a wedge of lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Florals and sticky blossom honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zesty orange and ginger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and zesty, with clove-spiked grapefruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wemyss Malts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended malt Scotch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside: 62% light base, 8% rich support, 30% fruity signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat with a drop of water, on the rocks, or long as a Hive-Ball with cloudy lemonade and lemon.
