Serving & pairing

Try it neat or with a single large ice cube. Bourbon’s caramel and vanilla sit well beside pecan pie, barbecue and aged cheddar.

What makes a whiskey a bourbon?

US law requires bourbon to be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn, distilled to no more than 80% ABV, aged in new charred oak containers, entered into the barrel at no more than 62.5% ABV and bottled at 40% ABV or more. “Straight” bourbon has been aged at least two years with no added colouring or flavouring.

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.”
