About

BourbonProject

Features
Read full description

Know every bottle on your shelf — and the one you haven't found yet. Bourbon Project is the catalog, collection tracker, and hunting partner built for people who actually chase allocated bottles instead of just drinking whatever's in reach. Catalog 1,400+ expressions Search by name or filter by what you're after — high proof, wheated, rye-forward, or anything carrying a real age statement. Every entry has proof, age, distillery, region, typical retail price, and a label photo, plus 65 distilleries and 280 brand families with founding dates and parent companies behind them. Your shelf, properly kept Sealed, open, wishlist, and favorites. Log what you paid, when you bought it, and your own notes, with custom fields for whatever you track that we didn't think of. Scan the bottle Point the camera at a barcode to add a bottle in a second. No barcode on the back bar? Scan the label instead. Never miss an allocated bottle at MSRP This is the reason to keep the app open. When another member finds a bottle like Weller, Blanton's, E.H. Taylor, Stagg, or Pappy sitting at retail price, you get a push with the store, the price, a photo of the shelf, and a route to the door — while it's still there, not after the group chat finds out. A ZIP code is all we ever ask for; no member ever sees another member's location, and a bottle only gets flagged once a photo backs it up. Watch your collection value itself Every price the community reports goes into a dated ledger instead of overwriting the last figure, so your collection value is a real chart over time, not a single guess. See cost basis and return per bottle, your top movers, and export the whole collection as a spreadsheet or a dated valuation for insurance. Cocktails worth the pour Full recipes across the whiskey family with real measures and method, for the bottle that turned out to be a mixer rather than a sipper. Talk to people who know the difference Start a thread, post a photo of the pour, and follow the replies. Get notified on replies, mentions, and likes, or turn all of it off. Every post can be reported and every member can be blocked, and both take effect immediately. Bourbon news Releases, allocations, and distillery news pulled from the trade press, credited and linked back to the source. Bourbon Project is free to use, and Pro features — including MSRP find alerts — are unlocked for everyone during our launch period. No credit card required to get started. Whether you're cataloging a single shelf or chasing the next allocated release before it's gone, Bourbon Project is built to keep up.
