## What is 3DC Tasting Notes?

3DC Tasting Notes is your private notebook for whisky, and whatever else is in the glass. It digitizes the 3 Drunken Celts paper notebook: three quick measures, a personal grade, and room for the whole story. Your notebook lives on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking.

THE 3DC METHOD
• Three 1 to 5 measures anyone can argue about: Viscosity, Boldness, and Length of Story
• One grade that is purely yours: A to F (there is no E), with + or - to fine-tune
• Nose, Flavor, and Finish notes, plus a flavor wheel to tag what you taste (peat, sherry, vanilla, citrus, and more)
• A rebellion against the 98-point score

CAPTURE FASTER
• Scan the bottle barcode
• Read Label: take or pick a photo of the label and text recognition on your phone fills in maker, age, and ABV
• Add a photo of the bottle or the pour
• Dictate your notes hands-free

THE LIBRARY
• Search, filter, and sort everything you have logged
• Mark each tasting as your own bottle or poured elsewhere, so the shelf and the night out stay apart
• Re-tastes of the same bottle are grouped, so you can watch your opinion change
• Bottle fill level, an opened date, and an "Oxidizing" label when a bottle's grades start slipping

INSIGHTS
• Taste trends, grade spread, how your palate has drifted, and any two drams side by side
• A private cellar-value view of the bottles you own: what you paid against what you reckon it is worth (you type the numbers; nothing is looked up)

BLIND FLIGHTS
• Pour into numbered glasses, rate each one blind, then reveal what they were
• Pass-the-phone group sessions for up to eight guests, with an agreement score for every pour and a named contrarian
• The Label Bias Index shows how much the name on the bottle sways your grade

SHELF CHECK
• Scan a bottle and see what your own notebook says: have you had it, and how did you grade it?
• No product database, no internet, no sales pitch

CONSISTENCY DRILL
• Re-taste one of your own bottles blind and see how close you land to your earlier notes
• Reach a rolling average of 90 over five drills and your consistency score rides along on your palate card

CURRICULA
• Guided tasting journeys, like The Peat Ladder, that name styles to hunt and never brands
• Log a match and the step ticks itself off; write a reflection on each step
• Build your own curriculum, share it, and earn a shareable graduation card

THE SNUG
• Send your palate to a friend anywhere as a link, or show it as a QR card, and compare
• Taste twins ranked by how closely their palate tracks yours
• One card per friend: a newer card from them replaces the old one
• The card travels inside the link, and 3DC keeps no copy. No account needed.

YOURS ALONE
• Optional Face ID lock
• Back up to a folder you choose, such as one in your iCloud Drive, or export JSON and CSV
• Six themes (Modern, Nostalgic, Natural, Retro, Futuristic, Hacker), each in light and dark

GOOD TO KNOW
• Shelf Check, and your own card in The Snug, unlock once you have logged five whisky tastings.
• Photos stay on your phone and are not included in backups.
• Dictation uses Apple's speech recognition. Where your iPhone can do it on the device, it does; otherwise Apple's speech service may process the audio.
• 3DC Tasting Notes references alcohol and is for adults of legal drinking age. It is a personal notebook: it does not sell alcohol or help you buy it.

Slàinte. Never forget the funny.
