Serving & pairing

Serve neat at room temperature with an orange slice. Its smoke works with grilled vegetables, mole and salty cheeses.

What is the difference between mezcal and tequila?

Tequila is a type of mezcal in the broad sense, but legally they are distinct: tequila uses only blue Weber agave from specific regions and usually steam-cooked agave; mezcal can use dozens of agave varieties, mostly from Oaxaca, and the agave is typically roasted underground, giving smoke.

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
Summer garden

A gin I cannot buy on the high street.

“A citrus gin that barely shows up in the States. Spirit Hives listed the botanicals, I ordered a 700 ml, and it became the house G and T. Not cheap. Completely worth it.”
Hannah W.Contemporary gin
Case order

The case made more sense.

“I drink the reposado enough that a single bottle was a habit. Switching the option to a case at Spirit Hives dropped the unit price and I stopped running out mid-month.”
Carlos M.Reposado tequila, 6-pack
Tasting night

Tequila I finally sipped.

“An anejo, neat, orange slice, no shot glass. Friends scoffed until the second pour. Two of them have since ordered their own from Spirit Hives.”
Diego V.Anejo tequila
