Distiller - Liquor Reviews

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.

I've been using this app for a couple of years and it has become indispensable in understanding the beverage offerings in many parts of the world I've travelled, from France, to Japan to most recently, Tasmania. One or two suggestions: it would be great if you could adapt your profile graphic to an interactive function and to be able to adjust sliders to draw a profile in 'search' - for instance, search for a more smokey and spicy, less sweet whiskey - and get results that align with the profile I am looking for - it would be an amazing function. Similarly, if I am looking at a review, to go beyond the three recommendations, to be able to request a list of results reflecting 'more smokey' or 'more rich' (pardon the grammar) would be fantastic. But really, great app with a fantastic database of bevs.

I was never a big drinker. A few years ago a friend invited me to a whisky tasting at his house. We had about eight different bottles and I had my first experience with a variety of quality whisky. I was hooked. However, every time I went to the liquor store I was overwhelmed by the selection with no general direction. Was this bottle worth $40? $60? What if I didn’t like it? I ended up not venturing much because of the confusion. Distiller allowed me to quickly check user and expert ratings to see if the bottle was worth the cost. Over a short period of time I was able to find quality whisky at reasonable prices. I found the flavors I prefer and the app allowed me to see flavor profiles for each whisky to determine if it was a style I enjoyed. I really liked the robust search features which allowed me to find the highest rated drinks in a particular price bracket. This feature allowed me to find the drinks that were good values. Lastly, Distiller allowed me to keep track which spirits I had tasted, liked, and/or owned. I’ve now used the app to find quality beverages throughout the Caribbean and visits to Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico.

Delete! Delete! That’s what I did with the other Spirit apps on my phone. Distiller is by far the best for me. So now it’s the only one I use. I found that I was wasting time reading other apps. Distiller incorporates both the average connoisseur of adult beverages as well as the experts that we assume have a more distinguished pallet. I have found that whether it is a bourbon, a rum, or tequila I been happy with the choices I’ve made based upon the ratings and reviews. The articles, weekly roundup and top choices of the week are always interesting reads. You can never learn enough and I feel I’ve learned a lot from Distiller. Keep up the good work!

I check this app nearly daily. They post reviews, short stories, some did you know info, release dates and other content. The searchable library of spirits is really excellent. I keep it on the whisky portion and I really enjoy the content they provide. Seriously, it’s been a great source of information and I’ve enjoyed having it. Update: I gave this App five stars again. Really is an excellent one stop for me. I now use the App during presentations at our whiskey club. The short and sweet descriptions and tasting notes are perfect when describing the whiskey we are trying. They have been accurate as well.
