Serving & pairing

Rye’s peppery spice is the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Pairs well with charcuterie and dark chocolate.

Rye versus bourbon — what is the difference?

Both are American whiskeys aged in new charred oak. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives sweetness; rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives pepper, spice and a drier finish. Canadian whisky is often called “rye” by tradition even when the mash bill contains little rye.

Anniversary

Cognac for a quiet anniversary.

“Thirty years. No party, one glass each by the fire. The XO from Spirit Hives was warm, long and unhurried. That was the evening.”
Samuel O.XO Cognac
Weekend sipping

Mezcal that tastes like a place.

“Smoke, not a campfire, with the village and the agave named on the page. I read it, then I drank it. Spirit Hives had both parts right.”
Fatima Z.Artisanal mezcal
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.”
Matej N.Three bottles
Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
Marcus T.Small-batch bourbon
