DISTILLERY NOTES

The classic Drunken Hive Honey Rum aged in exIslay barrels bottled at cask strength

BC SPIRITS NOTES

Super limited release from Wayward Distillery, sold out in a couple of minutes, their Drunken Hive finished in Islay Whisky Barrels. The smoke is that classic flinty, river rock fire flavor that compliments and contrasts the caramelized sweetness in the spirit. Rich and decadent, the barrel adds a huge amount of complexity to the honey rum, allowing it to give a breadth of flavors and giving is some great legs.

Alcohol - 56.7% / 113.4 proof

Color - Light honey gold

Nose - The light campfire smoke balances the richness of the honey on the nose and dries it out to crystallized honey

Taste - The palate is rich with the campfire flinty smoke and then the rich honey comb notes come through, the cask strength and the smoke give a unique dryness to the Drunken Hive.

Finish - Smoked honeycomb lingers for some time, flint in the final breath

Best Enjoyed - Neat
