## What is Bottle Hound?

Bottle Hound helps whiskey hunters find hard-to-get bottles and pours at liquor stores and whisky bars nearby.

Fellow hunters log what's on the shelf or backbar—optionally with photos. Search a growing whiskey catalog (or add a bottle that isn't listed yet). Build a My Unicorns wishlist of the pours and bottles you want most, and Bottle Hound can notify you when one is spotted nearby.

Free hunters toggle alerts on up to 2 bottles within 25 miles. Hound Premium alerts the whole list, lets you pick 25 / 50 / 100 miles, and notifies you first.

With Bottle Hound you can:
• Browse nearby liquor stores and whisky bars on the Hunt tab
• Open a venue to see reported bottles and pours
• Search the whiskey catalog and check nearby availability
• Log a find with optional shelf or bar photos
• Track grail bottles on My Unicorns (bottle, pour, or either)
• Get push alerts when a unicorn is spotted nearby

Whether you're chasing an allocated bourbon or a rare pour at a whisky bar, Bottle Hound keeps the hunt local, timely, and shared.

Bottle Hound is great for whiskey hunters. I've been using it for a while now and it's already helped me snag a few bottles I wanted. The unicorn tracking and proximity alerts are my favorite features. Clean interface, easy to use, and the community finds are solid. If you spend time chasing rare bottles, this is worth having on your phone.
