Serving & pairing

Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.

Single malt or blended Scotch?

Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.

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.”

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.”
