Great bourbon

Smooth with leathery notes

Results pretty random

Thought this would be a great app to finally locate where in hell bottles I want to buy are actually sold in my area. Instead I get a randomized list from startes other than my own. When I select "stores near me" I get random "best buys" that could be anything other than whiskey and nothing to do with my original search. Huge missed opportunity. If I want to search for Weller, tell me where it is near me! Point 2- stop giving stores that inflate their prices to gouge the customer any space on this app! They don't deserve any free advertising. I'm not paying $500+ for a $40 bottle. Put the suggested retail price and the store price side by side so buyers can make educated decisions.

Bourbon

The site is awesome but the outrageous prices are unacceptable.

Good but not great

Try searching for 1792 Bourbon. Good luck! I tried to find contact info within the app and there is none. Otherwise I would have not left a review here. I use the app frequently like I said it’s a good app, but leaves me baffled. I’m sure there are other search glitches.

Fix it

App was working great, now all you get is request failed: forbidden 403. What’s the issue?

Doesn’t work.

Searches are coming up as “Forbidden” errors. Waste of tine and space.

Very helpful

Use it to compare prices in the DC area as well as elsewhere. Also works to find what I want.

A wine database doesn’t have many whiskeys

I couldn’t find The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Double Oak or Macallan 12. Those seem like pretty mainstream Scotches. I guess they are serious when they talk about rare bottles. It makes it pretty worthless for any sort of tracking though.

It’s also sad that it hasn’t been updated in years and doesn’t even take advantage of recent iPhone screen sizes.
