Whisky review : Wemyss ''The Hive'' 12 years old Blended Malt bottled @ 40%

Whisky review : Wemyss ''The Hive'' 12 years old Blended Malt bottled @ 40%

-Cool name
-Made of 16 different single malts

Colour: dark gold, light coppery tones. A tad oily with long legs.

Nose: Cream Soda, smooth creamy thick fruits, massive honey, pear, touches of wood, very sweet honey pickled fruits. After a few minutes I noticed a distant hint of sweet ash.

Mouth: very thick, sweet, honey, spices, very long lingering spices, vanilla, more fruits and honey coming along. Touches of vanilla as well. The name ''hive'' is very well chosen indeed, it's mouth watering.

Finish: extended spices, honey, vanilla....sticky.

B+ for taste. A very nice Speysider with lots of fruits and honey. I would recommend this Blended Malt to anyone enjoying smooth and fruity Whiskies.
B+ for presentation. A nice metal tubing and cool label with Bees on it. Simple yet effective.
B for the price. 68$ (SAQ) it simply an ''ok'' price. However, it's marketed at 36GBP (58$) in UK, so I guess 10$ of import and taxes if fair.
