Fresh Whiskey Fridays – May 26th, 2023

Whiskey is for Sharing

We know many of you use the Abov App for tracking your own collection, keeping notes on the drams you enjoyed, etc. But we also know many of you love to share your passion for whiskey with your less-experienced friends and family. Sometimes buying whiskey as a gift can be hard. With so many choices these days, it can be hard to find the right bottle, especially for someone just starting on their whiskey journey who doesn’t have the palate for the high-proof peat monsters you might enjoy.

With this in mind, we compile a list of the Best Whiskeys to Give as a Gift. Whether you are shopping for a dad (with father’s day a few weeks away) or just someone else close to you who you think we’ll enjoy a dram, we have a little something for everyone, so give our list a look!

Something is Dropping

We won’t say too much here, but we have something new coming on the horizon. While we are continuously working to improve the app, website, and newsletters, we are also working on something a little different. Stay tuned, but we’ll just leave you here with this:
