Features
What Whiskey Richard does.
Built on a deep, growing catalog of the whiskey world — mashbills, distilleries, casks, finishes, batches and store picks.
Label scanning
Scan a label.
Point your camera at a bottle. Whiskey Richard identifies it and reads what's printed on the label straight into your record. When a detail is unclear, it asks instead of guessing.
- Proof, age statement, batch, barrel and bottle number
- Store pick names, single barrel, cask strength, bottled-in-bond
- You check the result before anything is saved
Collection
Your collection, in detail.
Track every bottle: where and when you bought it, what you paid, when you opened it, its barrel and bottle number, and your own photos.
- A wishlist for the bottles you're still looking for
- Add prices by photographing the receipt — or just type them in
- Bring a collection over from a spreadsheet or another app, so nothing you tracked gets lost
Rating
Rate what you pour, step by step.
Taste in order — appearance, nose, palate, mouthfeel, finish — and score 14 flavor areas. Add an overall score, and a value score for what you paid. Your flavor ring shows the bottle's flavor at a glance.

Tastings
Taste together.
Host a tasting with friends — blind if you like — and compare notes when the bottles are revealed.
- Friends join with a code, a QR code or an invite link
- Blind mode hides what's in the glass until the reveal
Sharing
Share without the noise.
Make a rating public and share it to Reddit, Facebook, a text or anywhere else, with a clean card and a link back.
- Ratings are private until you choose to share one
- Your collection stays private unless you choose otherwise
