CaskNotes is a private whisky and spirits tasting journal for adult enthusiasts who want a serious cellar notebook on iPhone and iPad. Record bottles, tasting notes, aroma and palate details, finish, cask type, ABV, region, age statement, favorite bottles, wishlist ideas, pairings, blind rounds, comparative flights, and exportable notes. CaskNotes keeps the workflow local and organized so each pour becomes useful reference material later.
