Distiller - Liquor Reviews 17+

Amazing app!! 10/10

This is the first review I’ve left for an app ever. I’ve really gotten into whisk(e)y collecting over the last year and this app has been the best tool to keep track of details, reviews, and my personal collection. I’m close to 250 bottles now and I use this app every day to track or share info or check reviews before I buy a new product. Being able to easily share my collection with friends has been great as well. I had thought of making some kind of home bar menu but this takes care of that and is updated in real time.
The reason I decided to leave a review is actually because of the new update. New features are included that I’m excited for (like bottle quantity tracking for my secret cellar stash of Blanton’s and Henry McKenna). Although it all looked good there was actually an issue with refreshing lists and I sent an email asking about the problem. Customer support replied within hours explaining the issue and reporting on the fix. Awesome support! I really enjoy this app and it’s an amazing value in my opinion for what it offers in utility and fun. I would have paid significantly more for the capabilities that it has and the ones rolling out now. Great job Distiller!!!!

Useful App

Being a newbie to bourbon whiskey drinking over the past few months, my initial tastings/purchases came via word of mouth. After finding out about the Distiller app, I’ve had a lot of fun while gaining a lot of knowledge through the app. Love the descriptions of the flavor profiles of my favorite brands - the graph is great! The expert reviews seem to be accurate for the most part, so finding different brands that boast my favorite flavor profiles immediately go on the Wish List - which is helpful when shopping. Another reviewer mentioned adding a way to search for brands utilizing the different aspects of these flavor profiles, which I agree with - this would be a great tool and a great time saver. But with that being said, a lot of the fun within the app is just browsing brands. All in all, this app is entertaining and educational. Here’s a big thumbs up - thanks.

New interface takes getting used to

I only started using Distiller about two weeks before the new redesign was released, and they had made a few changes I was not happy with. But they seem to be listening to the feedback and making things better. The flavor profile wave is back, which is great, because I can easily see from the shape of the wave if it’s something I’m going to like. Visually, the flavor tags graph is less useful, but I like the concept of the tags changing over time as more tags are added. I do see it as something that could be ripe for abuse, though hopefully the Distiller team will do a good job of moderating it.

I’m still unable to login via Apple ID, but I was able to reset my password, so I use my email address to login instead.

I like the website’s Recommend feature, and I hope that comes to the app soon. Also, can you add a search or index for the articles? I would like to be able to refer back to older articles without having to scroll to find them.

Hi Jeff, thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. I've passed your feedback along to the team about wanting us to bring back the old flavor profile and to have sort settings persist across sessions. These are really helpful and constructive suggestions, so they mean a lot to us. We'll be hard at working improving the app every day, so there are lots of important updates to come. Cheers!
