Stillory is the collection and tasting journal for people who take whiskey seriously. Most apps treat your bottles like a shopping list. Stillory treats them like a palate. Catalog what you own, log every pour in detail, and watch a picture of your own taste come into focus — one bottle, one tasting at a time. A TASTING NOTE WORTH KEEPING A star rating forgets everything that mattered. Stillory's tasting form captures the full session — nose, palate, finish, mouthfeel, and drinking style. Log blind tastings, mark whether you'd buy it again, and keep photos of the pour. Every note compounds into something you'll actually return to. YOUR PALATE, DECODED The Pour Report turns your tasting history into insight: which distilleries you reach for, how you score across brands, where your preferences are trending. The Palate Radar maps your flavor profile at a glance — the closest thing there is to a fingerprint of your taste. A SCANNER THAT READS LABELS, NOT JUST BARCODES Point your camera at a bottle and Stillory identifies it — distillery, expression, age, cask. Because it reads the label itself, allocated pours, craft releases, and bottles that never had a barcode all just work. BUILT FOR WHISKEY — NOTHING ELSE Bourbon is not Scotch is not Japanese, and Stillory knows it. Bottle fields adapt to the category: mashbill and rickhouse for bourbon, region and cask type for Scotch. You'll never fill in a field that doesn't belong. A COLLECTION THAT LOOKS THE PART Gold on black, a serif worthy of the back-bar, and a Glencairn glass that fills as you pour. Stillory is built to feel like the good stuff.
