What Whiskey Lovers Are Saying
Best app for whiskey collectors
"WhiskeyMate is a great app for either starting a whiskey collection or even just wanting to mess around and see bottle worth. This app has changed my point of view on any other whiskey app. This is by far the best app for collecting whiskey!"
Why we built WhiskeyMate
"Scan a bottle, log all the details — brand, vintage, ABV, tasting notes — done in seconds. Over 300,000 whiskeys in the database. Ask Fitz, our AI bartender, for a rec. Track stats, prices, and see what others are sipping. If you're into whiskey — this is where you belong."
A collector’s dream
"I’ve tried spreadsheets, notes apps, even photo albums — nothing compares to WhiskeyMate. It’s clean, fast, packed with features, and the AI suggestions are surprisingly good. My collection finally feels organized. I actually enjoy tracking bottles now."
