The bottle you're chasing is on a shelf somewhere. DoubleOak is the bourbon hunting app that helps you find it, track it once it's home, and remember how it poured. Built by bourbon hunters for bourbon hunters: real sightings of allocated bourbon from real people at real liquor stores, plus a whiskey collection tracker and tasting journal in the same app. SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY ON THE SHELF Hunters post what they spot, where, and when. Every sighting carries a freshness label, so a find from this morning never looks like a lead that went cold last week. Browse your city on the store map or scroll the feed of allocated bourbon, store picks and new releases near you. PUT A BOUNTY ON YOUR GRAIL Name the bottle you're hunting, a whole family, or everything from one distillery. Set your radius. When someone in the community spots it, you get the alert. No other bourbon finder lets you hunt this way. HUNT WITH YOUR SQUAD Private groups for the people you actually hunt with. Squad sightings reach your crew first, before they go public. KNOW WHICH STORES ARE WORTH THE DRIVE Store pages with community ratings, reviews, hours and what's been spotted there lately. TRACK YOUR WHISKEY COLLECTION My Bar holds what you own. Your Wishlist holds what you're after: tap Hunt to put a bounty on a bottle, and Got it to move it to My Bar once it's home. Add lists for anything else: the bunker, the store picks, the gifts. Mark each bottle open, sealed or finished, and keep quantity, purchase date, tags and notes. Sort, filter and tag in bulk. A list works the same at 5 bottles or 2,000. SCAN IT OR IMPORT IT Add a bottle by name or with the barcode scanner. Already tracking in a spreadsheet? Import a CSV, map the columns, and DoubleOak matches each row to its catalog. The catalog runs from bourbon, rye and Scotch to tequila, gin, rum, vodka, brandy and mezcal, so the whole bar fits. Export any list whenever you like. Your data stays yours. CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO POUR? Pick a pour chooses tonight's bottle from your open bottles, leaning toward the ones you scored highest. REVIEW EVERY POUR A quick review is one score out of 10 and a note, done in under a minute. A full tasting walks you through nose, palate, rating and details, with flavor picks and photos. Every review lands in your tasting journal and shows next to the bottle on every list it's on. LEARN YOUR PALATE Review enough bottles and DoubleOak shows the flavors you tend to enjoy and the ones you don't. Every bottle page carries community scores and a flavor profile, so you know what you're getting before you open it. NEVER MISS A DROP A release calendar for upcoming bourbon and whiskey releases, with reminders you set yourself. WHERE IT WORKS Bourbon sightings and store maps are live in San Antonio with more cities on the way. Your collection, barcode scanning, imports and tasting reviews work anywhere in the United States. You must be 21 or older to use DoubleOak. Please enjoy responsibly.
