Most 'honeyed' dram?

Honey? The most honeyed whiskey I know is Jameson Gold Reserve. Neither malt nor US, but very honeyed.

Nectar d'Or would be my first recommendation as well. Yellow Spot is a beauty as well, if you don't mind going Irish.

Midleton Very Rare (Irish) and Dalwhinnie 15 would be two of my picks.

The Nectar D'or and Dalwhinnie are the two that instantly pop into my head as well.

Benriach 12 yr here in the USA bottled at 46% abv, Ancnoc 12 yr, the Balvenie 12 yr, and 15 yr Single Barrels are fine examples of a 'honeyed' single malt.

I may be alone here, but I get a ton of honey in Highland Park 12.

If you want honey, nothing says honey cake better than Forty Creek Spike....

Ok just kidding

I had a good Jura 16 that was the essence of honey, and I had a bad Jura 16 that was just metallic; not sure if it's worth the gamble. For a sure bet, look up the HP 2001, which you can still find in your area for very good prices; not too dissimilar would be Glenmorangie's Finealta. Yes their Nectar d'Or is honeyed too, even moreso for their extinct 15yo version. You mentioned Arran 16, and you probably saw my review; it remains a personal favorite.

Longmorn 16 yr, and Arran 14 yr (although there might be a bit more 'malty' taste than honey, but a fine whisky nonetheless, but stay away from the Arran 10 yr - that's a waste of money).

I am very surprise that nobody mentionned Redbreast 12..

@FMichael I disagree with you. For me the Arran 10 is a bargain and one I will buy again. In fact, I already have! But it's ok if you don't like it and don't buy it as it will keep it at a bargain price for me! Cheers!

Try BNJ. It's a blend but honeyed, light and very drinkable. A bargain in my mind.

@Robert99 Less for me - and more for you!

Cheers!

A inexpensive 'vatted' malt with a solid vanilla base would be the 'Monkey Shoulder' by Glenfiddich/Balvenie/Kininvie.

I would add that from my cabinet the two most honeyed drams would be Cardhu 12yr old, and the Dalwhinne 15yr old are both strong contenders for this category. I am sure I will have forgotten a few but off the top of my head these are the two that spring to mind. Hope this was helpful. (:

What about he Glenrothes 1998 ?

That has quite a bit of Honey/vanilla influence according to it's reviews on here...

Highland Park 18yo. Not the most honey in my cabinet (that's the Glen Moray16yo.) but the most engaging, for me; heather honey, at a very sophisticated level in a brilliant Whisky that, to me, is a classic with balance second to none.

Slainte!

My vote goes to the Highland Park 18 Year Old too.

Orkney peat meets the signature Highland Park honey - a lovely combination.

Admittedly, not the most honeyed of single malts (I dare say the Glenlivet the Guardians Chapter has more intense honey) but this is a malt that everyone should try at least once in their life.

How about some mead?

@OlJas

I have some. There is a winery in Niagara that produces it. But it's not as high in strength, is it? Can it even be distilled?

That, i don't know. But if I loved honey flavors, I'd be cutting my drams with mead.

Actually, I'd probably just add some honey. Maybe it'd be awful, but I'd give it a shot. Let us not get too precious with our malts.
