Perfect Pour: Bourbon Tracker

• Say what turns you off, in your own words. On My Palate, type or say a word: peat, oak, soap, musty, cherry. The app tells you where it lives ("Peat, got it. That lives in the Smoke family") and files it. Each family chip now shows its best-known flavors. • Your own verdict wins. On a bottle you have poured, the badge is your call, not the app's guess. • Funk means funk. A turn-off from the quiz counts only when a bottle actually carries it, and the app asks which funk you meant. • Your match, in five words. Made for you, A great sipper, A good evening, Worth a try, Off your map: the same words for the same score everywhere. • Your match, explained. Every flavor has a strength, and a bottle far from your palate says Off your map and why. • Franklin, recorded again. Every help line he speaks matches the words on screen. • Look freely, sign in to keep it. Everything is open to look at; the moment you keep a pour or your palate, the app asks you to sign in and brings you right back. • A cleaner flavor map on My Palate, and a quiz that fits the screen. • Signing out leaves nothing of yours behind, and signing in brings it all back. • New to bourbon? Three questions and a bottle to look for. The app's own words are explained where you meet them. • Teach me your taste, four ways. Known bottles open with their details at once. • Tasting notes for hundreds more bottles: Bottles from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Beam, Four Roses, Jack Daniel's, Michter's, Wild Turkey and more now carry a reviewer's notes in our own words, with the page they came from. Where a bottle has no year or batch, the newest review stands in and says so. • Approved but not out yet: A bottle that is approved or announced but not on shelves yet now says so on its page instead of reading like a bottle you can buy. • Will you like it? Scan a bottle before you have a palate and, right where the match would be, the app offers the 90-second quiz. Finish it and you land back on the same bottle with your match. • Known bottles, even with your free research used: scan a bottle someone else has already brought into the shared library and you get its notes and your palate match, signed in or not, with free research left or not. • Wheated means wheated: a bottle whose recipe says "0% wheat" or "no wheat" is no longer counted as a wheated bourbon. • Same label, different barrel. Barrel Select, Single Barrel and store picks share one name and one barcode. Scan a pick whose label disagrees with the one already on your shelf and the app says so, keeps only the house, and reads this bottle on its own. The label's own finish and proof always win. • How it hits, everywhere, with your own bands: Every spider graph now carries the same "How it hits" beneath it: the bottle’s Body, Heat and Grip dots, your own bands drawn behind them, one line on the fit. Compare, What should I drink, In the mood for, Worth the chase, the gift page, the end of a tasting and a house’s page all draw it now. Your bands are built the way your palate is: a mouthfeel you picked leads, and where you said nothing the bottles you liked fill in, drawn a little wider until your own picks tighten them. Three pours you liked and they appear. • The Chase is one thing: A bottle is on The Chase when its status says so, everywhere. The separate list behind your public @handle page is gone: why you’re chasing it and the day it went on now live on the bottle and travel with it. Every door — scan, search, a flight, the Trail, Sets, a label, a festival, a bottle’s page, Quick Setup, a spreadsheet, the Allocation Calendar — saves the same way and counts against the same limit. On My Chase List, + Chase a bottle searches the catalog, and × stops the chase.
