BeerSpin's AI scanner reads the label on any bottle of beer, whisky, or wine and auto-fills the producer, name, type, ABV, country, and category-specific details like vintage, varietal, age, or region.

OAKR makes the world of bourbon shopping simple for enthusiasts and spirit lovers. Bourbon flavors are complicated, and if you’ve never tried a spirit before, you have no idea what’s corked inside the bottle.

OAKR conducts blind tastings to collect flavor data about every bourbon on the platform. Spirit profile pages contain unique profile maps to show how the taste profile skews bottle to bottle. Get a quick snapshot of what a whiskey tastes like, but it doesn’t stop there. You can see detailed flavors present in each spirit, all of which powers data led recommendations about related spirits based on similar flavors, and recommendations on what you might also like.
