About this bottle

A cask strength rye whiskey from United States, Thirteenth Colony Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 47.5% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Caramel, brown sugar, nutmeg, and clove. As it opens up, aromas of vanilla, hazelnut cream, port wine, and coffee beans emerge; on the palate: Starts with clove and pepper spice, then the rye grain becomes more pronounced. Toasted whole grain bread, praline, and maple flavours follow through, finishing with vanilla cookies and toasted almonds; finish: Long and coating. Rye oils linger on the palate; flavors shift toward cooked dates, sugar plum, raisins, and a hint of root beer in the tail.

Serving & pairing

Rye’s peppery spice is the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Pairs well with charcuterie and dark chocolate.

Rye versus bourbon — what is the difference?

Both are American whiskeys aged in new charred oak. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives sweetness; rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives pepper, spice and a drier finish. Canadian whisky is often called “rye” by tradition even when the mash bill contains little rye.

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
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.”
