About this bottle

A american whiskey from United States, Abraham Bowman Limited Edition No 17 Whiskey is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 58% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Syrupy and rich, with vanilla, caramel, barrel char, and hot cornbread with melting maple butter, as well as deep, leathery aromas; on the palate: Big, yet not hot given the proof, showcasing spicy oak, with molasses, sour cherry, and cloves, and a sweetness reminiscent of glazed donuts; finish: Long, with astringent oak balanced by spearmint and a thread of rich vanilla sweetness. An eminently sippable bourbon.

Serving & pairing

American whiskey styles vary widely; taste neat first, then with ice. Good company for smoked meats, cornbread and roasted nuts.

What is Tennessee whiskey?

A straight whiskey made in Tennessee that meets bourbon’s requirements and is additionally filtered through sugar-maple charcoal before ageing (the “Lincoln County process”), which softens the spirit.

Whisky club

Cask strength, labelled as such.

“ABV and proof on the card, so I knew I was buying 58 percent and could plan the water. Big, oily, brilliant. Exactly what Spirit Hives said it was.”
Neil D.Cask-strength bourbon
A treat

Japanese whisky I could actually pay for.

“I lined up three blends, saw the sizes and the prices, and picked the 700 ml I could afford. Spirit Hives did not hide the cost. No regrets.”
Ken A.Japanese blended whisky
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.”
