### 4/5 — Paywalled?

*2026-07-11*

Useless without paid subscription but a great concept.

[Thank you for the clarification. I’ve updated the rating.]

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great-concept comment! One quick clarification: the free version isn’t a limited “lite” edition - it exists so you can see exactly what the app does and how it works before paying, so no one buys and feels let down afterwards. Pure customer protection. That’s why two whole regions (about 500 distilleries) are fully unlocked, with maps, profiles, and search all working completely. The paid version then opens up the remaining 7,000+ distilleries worldwide. We’d genuinely love for you to explore the free regions first - there’s a lot there. Slàinte!

### 2/5 — Paywalled

*2026-06-16*

Useless without paid subscription but a great concept.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-01-23*

Klasse Informationen und sehr umfangreich

### 5/5 — Klasse

*2025-07-01*

Für meine Recherchen und zur Planung der Destilleriebesuche einfach ein Traum. Über 5000 Whisk(e)y Destillerien kann man nicht mehr allesamt auf dem Schirm haben.

### 4/5 — Gut, aber es fehlen Hinweise auf Besucherzentren

*2025-04-26*

Eine beeindruckend große Datenbank bei vernünftigen Abo Preis. 
Was ich vermisse ist ein Hinweis ob die Destillerie ein Besucherzentrum hat und ggf. den Link dorthin.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2024-08-05*

Eine ausgezeichnete App die ich schon in der Betaphase begleitet habe. Ideal zur Unterstützung bei Tastings und aber auch sowohl für „Neulinge“ oder „Experten“ geeignet. Ein „must Have“

### 5/5 — Great offer!

*2024-08-01*

All whiskey fans all over the world should have this app, it’s great! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Perfect for traveling and a must have for whiskey lovers

*2024-07-31*

Since 2009 I have been following the creation of the Alba Collection whisky maps, which were gradually developed as a paper version for the whole world. This app puts the icing on the cake! I am a tour operator specialising in whisky tours and have been in the test pool for this app for years. This app is ideal when traveling, but also useful for any whisky tasting and everyday use. Find active distilleries, navigate there, read more information, a quick check which distillery is nearby - everything is very well and functionally solved. Various filters can be applied, there is a time machine and other exciting things to discover too. The app offers some amazing options for unique experiences. An example: On one of my trips to Ireland, I wanted to find places where there is nothing to see yet, but where a distillery will soon be built. In many (!) cases we knew more through the app than the people in town! We had wonderful encounters, exciting conversations and a lot of fun researching. You can also use the app to do research on long time lost distilleries. This app is a must have for whisky lovers, whether beginners or connoisseurs. Very helpful for whisky trips, tastings, a quick lookup - and good fun „off the beaten track“.

### 5/5 — Must have für den Nerd!

*2024-07-25*

Sehr gute Map, alles für den Whisk(e)y Entusiasten. Man findet Daten zu allen Brennereien und deren hergestellten Sorten. Ebenso stillgelegte und Planung befindliche. Das macht richtig Laune evtl. welche auf der Map zubesuchen, bzw. deren Stoff zu testen 👍

### 5/5 — Ein MUST für den Whisk(e)y Genießer

*2024-07-23*

Die App ist ein absolutes „must have“ für den und die Whisk(e) Liebhaber/in. Ich habe die App schon in der Beta-Version genutzt und in Schottland und Südamerika Destillen gesucht und gefunden. Tastings mit Freunden, Bekannten und Gästen können perfekt mit Hintergrundinformationen bereichert werden.
Der jetzt geforderte Abo-Preis ist sehr fair und dem Produkt angemessen.
