The spirit starts off with a grain whiskey sourced from the [North British Distillery Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-north-face-universal-collection) that's blends with blossom honey, guajillo spice and green jalapeños. The expression comes in with a 43.1% ABV in 700ml bottles priced at £40 each and is being launched via Brown’s of Leith online as well as at all Civerinos locations in the UK. The Woven x Civerinos Hot Honey speaks to the popularity of the sweet and spicy (AKA swicy) flavor profile in foodie culture, and identifies how it's spilling into the alcohol category. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 84% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Swicy Spirits:** Sweet-heat flavor profiles are moving from food culture into premium alcohol, creating space for complex spirits that blend honeyed sweetness with chili-driven spice. - **Culinary Whiskey Collaborations:** Restaurant and spirits partnerships are turning signature food ingredients into limited beverage formats, expanding brand storytelling through cross-category flavor experiences. - **Savory Cocktail Ingredients:** Pepper, spice, and condiment-inspired notes are reshaping cocktail-ready spirits, offering differentiated alternatives to conventional sweet or smoky whiskey expressions. ### Where This Applies - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Premium spirits producers are experimenting with hybrid flavor formulations that appeal to consumers seeking novelty beyond traditional whiskey profiles. - **Foodservice:** Restaurant brands are extending their culinary identities into bottled products, creating new retail touchpoints connected to in-venue taste experiences. - **Specialty Retail:** Online bottle shops and niche alcohol retailers are becoming launch platforms for collaborative spirits that target flavor-curious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spiced Fruit Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madeira-cask-single-malt-whisky.md) - [Delicious Hot Honey Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drizzle-hot-honey.md) - [Beverage-Ready Hot Honey Syrups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-syrup.md) - [Sweet Heat Citrus Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cointreau-spicy.md) - [Honey-Barrel Bourbon Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-river-honey.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Artisan Honey Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-hour-honey.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Botanical Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cygnet-infinity.md) - [American Spirits Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Revolver-Beer.md) - [Hands-On Blending Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blending-rooms.md)
