Honey "rums" have become a big part of the BC distillery landscape, with a number of distilleries producing some fantastic examples. Wayward is the OG in honey distillation in the province and their caramelised Drunken Hive is a perfect example on how honey can behave. Rich, not overly sweet with hints of spice, I would love to have this in a blind tasting with a number of big name rums.
