Great app to track spirits

I really enjoy using this app to keep track of the different liquors I try. I like that I can keep public and private notes. It helps me purchase new liquors that are highly rated, and keep me from purchasing something I had before that I didn’t care for, but forgot about. I recommend this app.

Inconsistent updated Info

When I started using the app it is was good. Near daily taste reviews and/or articles about various things. But that has changed. There are few articles and way less taste reviews loaded. Often there are a bunch loaded all at once following a no activity. The Friday roundup that had interesting content is now a new spirts list. Boring.

The point is who ever was running this previously doesn’t appear to be doing so now, or is not paying attention. Just poor management.

Best part about the app is the library of spirts for a quick search and the ability to maintain a personal whiskey list.

Really love to see this app get back on track. It was really great before.

3 stars for how it’s been run
4 if it gets back on track

Excellent with room for improvement

I love this app and can honestly say that it’s the best of its kind out there. There are so many amazing features like the listing, the barcode search feature, the rating system, and the sheer quality of the overall product.

That being said, I’d love to see some basic improvements in a few places. For the lists, when you sort your list a certain way, say alphabetically, it would be really nice if it would then keep it that way the next time you pull up your list. A little annoying that it’s default organizing is the order in which you entered the bottle into the list. Same goes for being able to move around the order of the lists themselves. Just an aesthetic thing.

It would also be really helpful if you could add the number of bottles from the same page as when you are adding the particular spirit to the list instead of it being a separate step. It would also be great to have an overall number of bottles listed for that list. The only way right now is to manually count, and sometimes the lists can get quite extensive, which can become tedious.

These are small things, but I feel like they aren’t hard features to add, and they would streamline the user experience quite a bit. But overall, I do really enjoy the app.

Super helpful in general

I’ve had a too many times where I’d be walking between aisles over and over looking for the best liquor/spirits to buy. Then when I found out this app existed, it’s been a game changer for me. I could literally look up information ahead of time to plan out my purchases. All the reviews by the critics and reviews by the people gives me a good take on what is really worth checking out and so forth. Thank you guys for all the great info and keep up the great work!

Accurate and reliable

I’ve been able to find exactly what I’m looking for and what I shouldn’t even bother buying.

Whiskey-specific Review

Stuck with this app due to the fast load time, ease of use, and depth & breadth of whiskeys. Truly great, please keep doing what you’re doing. Expert Review section contain valuable information, especially the chart and the name of the taster (you’ll find tasters you agree with and those you don’t). Flavor profile and corresponding chart allows for fast comparisons between what you know you like and those you haven’t yet tasted. Lists are also useful, especially the ability to create your own lists.

Update: “Pro” is one of the few app upgrades I’ve found worth the cost. Still a 5 star app.

Distiller

Beautifully simple application that provides just what is to track your inventory and to manage lists of bourbon to buy and to not buy. Great at helping see what others are doing and to share your own tastes and purchases

Beautiful App

My source for all things great in the wide, wide world of one of my favorite sports - drinking bourbon. I’m starting to dabble in serious reviews as my taste buds move from a one dimensional “tasty” to a more sophisticated hints of this and finishing with that. A great reference when staring down a bottle of something new and a handy resource to bolster my argument if my wife is close by.

Just give it a go

This makes A B comparisons lots of fun and helps develop and fine tune your taste.

Missing so many options and refusing to add more

Great idea, and was looking forward to such opportunities but going to a distillery to do a tasting and found out that 90% of the gins weren’t available on the app with the app refusing to create new entry was a huge disappointment.

Also having to add pictures of bottles, which you don’t have while doing taster, is just dumb.

On top of that, this doesn’t even record unfavourable review (it’s the third time I’m sending my review and it doesn’t appear).
