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.

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
Birthday gift

Quick to order. Worth the wait.

“Checkout at Spirit Hives took a minute. The bottle itself took a little longer than a supermarket run. I ordered ahead for my brother's birthday and it arrived in time.”
Derek C.Ordered in advance
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
