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.

Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
Corporate gifts

Forty gifts, one conversation.

“Corporate bottles for clients. Spirit Hives suggested three price bands, one invoice, and the labels were consistent. Several clients asked where they came from.”
Tom H.40 bottles
First Scotch

Peat without the leap of faith.

“I wanted Islay without buying a wall of smoke. The tasting notes on Spirit Hives pointed to a gentler malt. It opened a door instead of slamming one.”
Jonah K.Islay single malt
Advent calendar

Advent, then a full-size bottle.

“Twenty-four small pours, each with a card. December at our house became a ritual, and we already know which Spirit Hives bottles we are buying properly in January.”
