Bourbski is social shelf for enthusiasts who care as much about the people and experiences as the bottles— track your collection, log every pour, and see what your friends are drinking, all in one place built specifically for bourbon, rye, scotch, Irish, and Japanese whisky. MY SHELF Track every bottle you own — sealed, open, or killed. Log what you paid, how full it is, and score it with a 100-point multi-factor rating built for real tasting notes, not just a star tap. TASTING LOG Record pours with freeform notes and the same multi-factor scoring system, whether you're drinking from your own shelf or trying something new. FRIENDS & FEED Connect with other whiskey drinkers and see what they're pouring, adding to their shelf, and wishlisting — in real time. WISHLIST Save the bottles you're hunting for, and share your wishlist as a public link — perfect for gift-givers who have no idea what to get you. SCAN & SEARCH Scan a barcode or search by name to add a bottle in seconds. Can't find it? Submit it yourself and help build out the catalog for everyone. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your shelf is yours. Share it with connected friends only, or go public if you want the world to see what you're drinking. Bourbski is built for people who already think carefully about what they're drinking and want a better place to track it than a notes app or a group chat.
