Your whiskey shelf, in your pocket.
BarrelBook helps whiskey collectors turn physical bottles into a digital shelf they can scan, carry, and reference anywhere.
Snap a photo — not a barcode. BarrelBook captures the bottle-level details collectors actually care about, including store picks, barrel numbers, bottle numbers, lot details, proof, warehouse, floor, and more. It then helps organize your collection into a clean, editable catalog entry in seconds.

BarrelBook Is the Whiskey Collection Tool I Didn’t Know I Needed
JackD_942
BarrelBook has quickly become one of the most useful tools in my whiskey journey. What I appreciate most is that it goes beyond simply tracking bottles — it helps me understand my collection, my palate, and the role each bottle plays on my shelf.As someone who evaluates whiskey in a structured way, BarrelBook fits naturally into how I think about tasting, comparisons, shelf management, and long-term palate development. It gives me a better way to organize what I own, what I’ve tried, what I want to revisit, and what I’m learning over time.The collection tracking is excellent, the platform feels thoughtfully built, and it is clear that BarrelBook is being developed by people who understand whiskey enthusiasts. Whether you are casually tracking bottles or trying to build a more intentional, refined collection, BarrelBook provides real value.I’m also especially excited about the experimental MCP access. For users who want deeper integrations or more advanced ways to work with their BarrelBook data, this is a really promising direction. Access is currently experimental, and you have to email BarrelBook to request it, but that makes it even more exciting for people who want to explore what is possible.Overall, BarrelBook is one of the best bourbon and whiskey collection tools I’ve used. It has become a valuable part of how I manage my shelf, evaluate bottles, and continue learning about my palate. Highly recommended.

The best app to curate my Bourbon Collection
Snoopyto
I have tried several apps to keep track of my collection and BB is by far the best app out there. My first draw was AI ability to take information from the label and place data in the correct places with fairly high accuracy. I also like that it will also look at secondary markets and provide a price. I have to admit, it is nice to know the value of the secondary market appreciation as it makes each sip even savior. While, I do think the subscription price is a little high, after I logged my entire collection of 100+ bottles into the app, I recognized the savings in my time that the app provided. Additionally, they recently added a wish list capability, so I can easily ask permission from the wife to buy other bottles. If you are looking for that one full feature app to catalog your entire alcohol collection, this is the one to have.

Thanks Snoopyto!
Best Bourbon tracking App
MrWCBrown
Love this - exactly what I was looking for to track my bottle collection. It’s so easy to add bottles and collect market information with the AI label scanning. I’m kicking myself for wasting time manually entering info in my other app. The app allows you to add a lot of other relevant info so it suits your needs, and I keep seeing more features getting added all the time. Tags, filtering, and searching make it so easy to pull up what you want. Having multiple photos of my actual bottles is great when I want to look up a detail or share info with my bourbon buddys. Ditch the other apps and spreadsheets - get this one.
The best whiskey inventory app I’ve used!
BRBNhub
Get this app and for the cost of one decent bottle your annual subscription. For real.I have tried and used several apps to inventory my collection, wishlists, tastings, etc. and they have all fallen short in one way or the other for me until I discovered BarrelBook.Snap a couple decent pictures of your bottle and the app does 95% of the work! It’s honestly that simple!The UI is clean and logically laid out. There is a field for basically every data point you could think of. Plus personal lists, random bottle selection, and and AI sommelier that will curate a flight from your collection just off the top of my head.Features are being developed and added regularly.If something is missing you can reach out to the app developer with a suggestion or for help and he is friendly and quick to respond!
