The bottle you're chasing is sitting on a shelf somewhere. DoubleOak is how you find it. DoubleOak is a retail bottle-hunting app for bourbon and whiskey drinkers. Hunters log what they see on real shelves at real stores, so when an allocated bottle lands near you, you hear about it while it's still there. FIND WHAT'S ACTUALLY ON THE SHELF Real sightings from real hunters, each carrying a freshness signal so you know whether it's a today find or a lead gone cold. Browse your city on the map or follow the feed. PUT A BOUNTY ON YOUR GRAIL Name the bottle you're hunting — or a whole family, or everything from one distillery — set your radius, and let the network work. When someone spots it, you get the alert. Confirm the find and credit the hunter who got you there. **HUNT WITH YOUR SQUAD** Private groups for the people you actually hunt with. Squad sightings reach your crew first before they go public. A real head start, not a broadcast. **KNOW THE STORES** Store pages with community ratings and reviews, hours, and what's been spotted there lately. Find the shops worth the drive. **NEVER MISS A DROP** A release calendar for upcoming bottles, with reminders you set yourself.
