## What is Distill by Stillbound?

Make whiskey from grain to glass.

Choose your grain, your still, where you cut, your cask. Every decision is one a real distiller makes. A flavour engine built on real distilling science works out what you made, then tells you why it tastes that way.

Most whiskey apps are notebooks. They record what you drank and how you rated it. Distill does the opposite. You make the whiskey, and the app explains the result.


SEVEN STATIONS. EVERY ONE CHANGES THE SPIRIT.

Set your grain bill. Choose a long fermentation or a short one. Run a pot still or a column. Cut early or late. Pick your cask, your char, your years in wood.

Move one lever and the flavour moves with it. Long fermentation builds fruit. A late cut carries oil and weight. First-fill sherry gives you more than refill. That is not opinion. It is how whiskey is made, and it is what the engine models.


THEN YOU WAIT.

Your cask ages in real time. One day in your life is one year in the barrel. A twelve year single malt takes twelve days. There is nothing you can buy that makes it faster.

In a hurry? Choose Poitín. Ireland's unaged spirit needs no cask and no maturation, so you can go from grain to finished bottle in a couple of minutes.


BOTTLE WHAT YOUR CHOICES PRODUCED.

Pick the bottle. Name the whiskey. Design the label. Then the reveal: your flavour across seven axes, your score, and the real whiskeys that came out closest to yours in style.

Every bottle you finish goes into your cabinet, with the record of what you did and what it produced.


SÉAMUS

Your head distiller. He tells you what a decision does at the moment you make it, in plain language, and he never sends you off to read a manual.


WHAT YOU GET FREE

The whole journey. Grain to glass, the bottling, the label, the reveal, the cabinet. No account, no login, and nothing essential behind a purchase.


DISTILLER MODE

A one time purchase that opens premium styles and casks, advanced controls, as many casks maturing at once as you like (free keeps three), and a deeper read on what you built.


FROM STILLBOUND

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-24

A fresh look for the still and score screens, and smoother moves around the distillery.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-12

A cleaner, calmer distillery.

Every build step now puts your choice first. Your flavour forecast sits on one line, and the next button is always in reach.

Pick your bottle from a single row and see it up close. Design your label with the preview, templates and colours on one screen.

Each bottle in your cabinet now carries its own flavour radar, so two bottles side by side are the comparison.

Plus smaller fixes, including Poitín bottling and large-text layouts.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-04

Your distillery now survives an app restart reliably.

A clearer first run: bottle your Poitín sooner, name your distillery before designing its first label, and get simple guidance when laying down your first aged cask.

Lifelike glass bottles and paper labels bring your cabinet to life, with clearer comparisons and finishing controls.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-29

Distiller Mode is here: a one-off purchase that opens every style and cask, all seven char levels, manual yeast, custom mashbills, premium bottles and labels, an eighth flavour axis, and Distiller's Analysis on every bottle.

The score now reads by tier. Standard tells you how true your whiskey is to its style, from True to Type down to Something Else Entirely. Distiller Mode keeps the craft verdict.

Under the hood: Japanese casks can now be laid down from three years, wheated bourbon's range is honest at 7 to 16, and the reflux, age and under-age rules were tidied so no two places disagree.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-18

No release notes.
