Serving & pairing

American whiskey styles vary widely; taste neat first, then with ice. Good company for smoked meats, cornbread and roasted nuts.

What is Tennessee whiskey?

A straight whiskey made in Tennessee that meets bourbon’s requirements and is additionally filtered through sugar-maple charcoal before ageing (the “Lincoln County process”), which softens the spirit.

Retirement gift

A retirement bottle with a box.

“Twenty-five years deserved a twenty-five-year Scotch. Spirit Hives sent it in the producer's presentation box. The whole office signed the card around it.”
Robert and June25-year-old Scotch
Whisky club

Cask strength, labelled as such.

“ABV and proof on the card, so I knew I was buying 58 percent and could plan the water. Big, oily, brilliant. Exactly what Spirit Hives said it was.”
Neil D.Cask-strength bourbon
A treat

Japanese whisky I could actually pay for.

“I lined up three blends, saw the sizes and the prices, and picked the 700 ml I could afford. Spirit Hives did not hide the cost. No regrets.”
Ken A.Japanese blended whisky
Wishlist haul

Saved three, bought three.

“A month of adding bottles to the Spirit Hives wishlist, then I checked out the three I kept opening. Sherried Speyside, a rye, a Rioja. All three matched the page.”
