Serving & pairing

Smooth enough to enjoy neat, Irish whiskey also lifts a hot toddy or an Irish coffee. Pairs with soda bread, mild cheeses and roast chicken.

What is single pot still Irish whiskey?

A style made only in Ireland from a mash of malted and unmalted barley (historically to avoid a tax on malt), distilled in copper pot stills at a single distillery. The unmalted barley gives a distinctive spicy, creamy texture.

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.”
