Whisky Suggest is Now Abov
For the last 7 years, Whisky Suggest has been the go-to application for detailed whiskey rating and review information. The community has bonded over flavor profiles, expanding collections, and excitement over new whiskeys. In keeping our focus on whiskey, we’ve gathered nearly 50,000 whiskey lovers from around the globe.
We are excited to formally announce the next chapter in the Whisky Suggest story as we will be rebranding to Abov. The new name reflects the commitment we have to providing an elevated experience within the application, website, and community as a whole. The name also reflects our commitment to our history by maintaining the barrel as the key logo, because at the center of everything we do is whiskey.
This is just the first step in our continual evolution of the brand and the application, so keep connected as we continue to share more over the next few weeks!

OK
Is my data gone?
Or will it be back in abov?
Hi Gerard!
Your reviews, ratings, and badges will migrate with you to Abov. If you’ve recently downloaded the WS app, then you should see your data in Abov in the next week or so as we had a major migration of users a couple months back and we’re doing the final migration this month.
Has the name ABOV a special meaning or is it a abbreviation? Why would you name a whisky site/app after a region in Slovakia?
And remember that the whisky community is an international community expanding all over the world. So make the app also international. I’m thinking of World standard date formats (dd-mm-yyyy), availability of (world) currencies, not only $or £.
Hi Mark, The name Abov is a play on the abbreviation for Alcohol By Volume (ABV) here in the states. We felt that it played well with both the whiskey world and our goal to help anyone that uses the app elevate their whiskey and start drinking better stuff!
We are currently working on adding location-specific features such as currency, date format, and (eventually) language. We know the world of whisk(e)y is larger than the US and the UK, but we had to start somewhere!
I can’t log into Abov with my old WhiskySuggest login? Is all the data gone?
Hi Morten, thanks for reaching out. You can still log into the app using your current email and your data is safe. If you logged in using the Facebook or Google plug-in in the past, you’ll need to use the ‘forgot password’ link to create a new one. Be sure to wait a couple minutes and check your spam folder for the automated reset email!
If you’re having a different login issue, we can take the conversation over email so that I can get more details about your specific use-case. We want to get you back exploring whisk(e)y as fast as we can!
What happened to my Whisky Suggest lock-in credentials and my Whisky collection database? Can’t log in anymore. All gone? All efforts in vain? Great job, dudes!! You really understand to make friends and satisfy clients…
Hi Patrick! It’s definitely not our intention to keep you from your whiskey data for any amount of time. If you logged in using the Facebook or Google plug-in in the past, you’ll need to use the ‘forgot password’ link to create a new one. Be sure to wait a couple minutes and check your spam folder for the automated reset email!

Great App.
One quick question.
I submitted a few whiskies to be added to the base. How long does it take to get approved?
Thank you.
Hello dear friends from Abov!
I noticed on checking my previous notes on whisky’s in the app, that the notes for the finishes are gone. The notes of nose and palate are there, but I can’t find my notes for finish. Where can i find these notes? Also, if I want to “edit review” all previous made notes are gone to and I have to start over… Help!
The “Whisky Suggest” app had a list of flavors in the whisky profile. I can’t see this in Abov anymore. Sad story. This was by far my favorite piece of information. Why did you remove it? Will it return?
Like other users I was afraid that my data is lost. I can log into my old account and it looks like everything is still there 😀.
All my whiskeys are gone when i change this abov app. Very sad.
What happened to all the currencies? Now all my records are marked as USD purchases instead of local currency I’ve used before. Really messed up.
