## What is The Perfect Pour App?

Know your palate. Find your perfect pour.

Every whiskey app is built around the bottle. The Perfect Pour is built around you — it learns your taste, then matches every bottle, pour, and trail stop to it. So you drink what you love, not what you're told to.

Most whiskey apps just show you scores: this bottle's a 94, it's rare, everyone wants it. The Perfect Pour does the opposite. It figures out what you actually enjoy in a glass, then reads everything else against that.

FIRST, IT LEARNS YOUR PALATE
A quick 90-second quiz — mostly not even about whiskey — draws your Palate Print, a map of the flavors you lean toward. Every pour you log makes it sharper.

THEN YOUR PALATE GUIDES EVERYTHING
Snap a label to fill your Rickhouse (your collection), ask "what should I pour tonight?" and get the right glass, and know whether a bottle you're chasing is worth it for you before you buy.

AND THE PART THAT'S DIFFERENT — THE TRAIL
It plans a bourbon-country trip matched to your taste, orders your flight when you walk into a tasting room, and lets you collect a hand-engraved stamp at every stop in your Trail Passport.

It's free to start, and a guide named Franklin is built in — calm, knows his stuff, and (his words) "nobody pays me to push bottles." You don't need to know a thing about whiskey to begin. That's the point.

WHAT'S FREE. WHAT'S PAID.
The heart of the app — your palate and the Trail — is free. You pay only when you want the planning, the depth, and the daily brief.

Free, $0 always — your Rickhouse, your Palate Print, The Cut Daily, and the Trail.

Bourbon Enthusiast, $5.99/mo or $59/yr — Franklin's AI bottle research, the full Chase List, Share a Pour, Handshakes, and the Trail's planner.

Bourbon Keeper, $99/yr Founder rate — full palate matches, the American Whiskey Industry Brief, the Allocation Calendar, Tasting Nights, valuation and insurance-ready export.

Please enjoy responsibly. 21+.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.79 — 2026-09-15

Sign-in keeps your place.
Leave for your email app to fetch the code and the sign-in comes back to the code entry, not the start. On iPhone, Franklin asks once before any label or bottle name is sent to our AI for research; you can change the answer any time in Settings.

Every row opens its bottle, everywhere.
Compare and Worth the chase now open their rows too: a bottle you own opens in the Rickhouse, any other opens the quick look, and back lands where you left. The quick look can say “This isn’t the bottle” or read the label again from every screen that shows it — Compare, Worth the chase, the scan’s look-first and the aroma card — and the fix lands on the row you came from.

A scan trusts the label over the barcode.
When a scanned code points at a bottle already on your shelf but nothing else confirms it, Franklin reads the label before naming the capture. The label wins when they disagree, and a shared-library answer for that code is held to the same test.

Captures land named.
Tap a door while Franklin is still reading and the bottle saves at once; the name and notes land on it a moment later. A photo that saved without a name climbs the research ladder on its own. Each capture is its own row. A To Sort bottle given a place is in the Rickhouse. The brand leads a read name, the barcode is a hint and the label is the truth, and a close spelling is offered as “did you mean” before research.

Every row opens its bottle.
In What should I drink?, a row you own opens in the Rickhouse; any other row opens the quick look, which can now say “This isn’t the bottle” or read the label again. Back lands where you left. The shelf search shows one row per bottle. Out & About: What should I drink? at a distillery, one cell to say which distillery, the bar's full menu, no fork before the store camera.

Canon review.
The shared library is reviewed every week. New entries resting on one guess, duplicates, close spellings and shared barcodes are flagged where they sit, with the facts behind each, and settled in a tap: confirm, rename, merge, retire, or accept a code that several releases share. A Monday digest says what came in.

### 1.70 — 2026-09-11

Festival pours without an account.
Tap Taste this at a booth before you have an account and the pour is held with its session. Make the account and it finishes the way it would for a member: saved, counted on the board, and open on its verdict with Franklin reading the bottle behind it.

A handshake lands as a Sample.
Open a friend's handshake link, write your three notes, and keep the pour on your shelf as a Sample — you have it, you don't own it — with your notes attached. The same door sits on every received handshake in the inbox.

A search never sits forever.
Every catalog download, Trail list, research step and label read now runs on a clock. A stalled request on weak signal used to hold every catalog search open until the app was closed — and "Franklin is still reading" could survive a relaunch. Now a slow step gives up, the next source runs, and a catalog that failed to load says so and offers a retry.

“In your Rickhouse” means on the shelf.
A scan writes a To Sort draft the instant a barcode reads. Scanning the same bottle again was matching that draft as "already in your Rickhouse." Now only a sealed, open or empty bottle on your shelf counts — never a draft, a Just Looking row, a festival pour or a flight pick.

The store read gets its screen back.
The pinned doors took half the phone. Now one row: the door for where you began, and Choose a list for the rest. Open this bottle sits under the name as a live button, and the verdict leads the flavor section. When a name is not in the catalog, the research offer is the headline, the Research button is the hero, and what it costs you reads right under it.

### 1.68 — 2026-09-09

A scan is never lost.
The moment you take a photo or read a barcode, the bottle is kept. Walk away, switch tabs, close the app — it waits for you in Needs research, one list inside My Rickhouse, with a card on Home when something is waiting. Every door now leads with the right answer: a scan from the Rickhouse leads to your shelf, a store leads to Just Looking, a bar leads to Tasted.

Festival booths in three taps.
Tap Add a pour and the camera opens. Front, barcode, done — the verdict is on screen while Franklin reads the bottle behind it. If the read is thin, Check for more goes one source deeper each time instead of repeating the same read. At a festival, everyone gets five free AI reads a day for bottles the catalog does not know.

Research never makes you wait.
Scanning a bottle no longer holds you on “A moment…” while the community and the label are checked. The bottle saves with what is known, you move on, and the details fill in as they land.

### 1.66 — 2026-09-08

The Trail now covers every state.
Every state list was researched house by house: 1,761 whiskey distilleries across all fifty states and D.C., up from 668, each with an address, a showroom and hours where the house has them, and its bottles. Houses that closed, moved, or turned out to be a label with no door are marked instead of leading you to an empty lot.

Find a distillery.
Type the name you know — a distillery, a brand, or a bottle — and the Trail finds the house that makes it, wherever it is. One list, ranked as you type, with a mark on the houses that are on the Trail.

The catalog arrives as changes.
Your phone keeps the catalog it has and downloads only what changed since, so opening the app takes a blink instead of a full download. New distilleries and bottles reach your phone from the web without waiting on an app update.

### 1.64 — 2026-09-04

Every detail screen keeps a proper margin instead of running its text to the edge of the glass — the Trail family, Aroma, Add a distillery and Export among them.

The allocation calendar and the Trailmaker bar no longer widen the page, so the fixed bars stay where they belong.

Ten "nothing here" screens now carry a Go back button.

Everything from 1.62 — the phone's text size on every screen, Household Rickhouse, sign out any device, the simpler Radar, Pour Something Good and Settings — is unchanged.
