About this bottle

A mezcal from Mexico from QuiQuiRiQui Mezcal, Quiquiriqui Mezcal Wild Tepeztate is part of the Spirit Hives spirits selection. It is bottled at 47% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Aromatically complex of all the Quiquiriqui Mezcals, with a bright and perfumed, almost floral intensity, followed by sweet metallic notes, and some lingering fruitiness in the background; on the palate: The palate is bolder, with meaty cured charcuterie characters and buttery sweetness, ahead of an almost ferrous zing and delicate wood smoke; finish: The texture is supremely silky and slippery, coating the tongue before sliding away and leaving a finish abounding with classic Mezcal minerality.

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.

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.”

Rum for cocktails

They said no age statement.

“Other shops would have fudged it. Spirit Hives wrote that there was no age statement and priced it like one. I trust a shop that tells me what the producer did not print.”
Grace L.Dark Jamaican rum
Housewarming

Vodka that is not just vodka.

“A Polish wheat vodka, almost creamy. The country filter on Spirit Hives is a small thing and it is why I found it instead of grabbing the usual bottle.”
Anya P.Polish wheat vodka
Tasting flight

Half bottles, five rums, one winner.

“The half-bottle shelf let me pour a flight without buying five full bottles. Guests voted. The winner is now a Spirit Hives regular on my shelf.”
