With technology providing us with better and faster solutions to most aspects of our lives, it’s no surprise that imbibers continue to ditch the classic recipe book and embrace the smartphone app.
You can find an app for just about anything these days, and the spirits industry is no exception. Looking for like-minded whisky lovers? Want to learn how to make a cocktail like a master mixologist? No problem! Whether you’re searching for a new speakeasy-style bar, need help picking out the perfect vodka for your recipe, or are desperate to share a picture of your newest creation with other cocktail fanatics, there’s an app for you.
Distiller
A self-professed ‘whisky companion’, Distiller is both a guide and a personal catalogue for whisky lovers.
Described by some as a “Booze Google” the comprehensive resource lets you scour a huge database of reviews – both from regular users and handpicked industry veterans – and access tailored whiskey suggestions based on your personal preferences.
Once you’ve found a favourite, you can add it to a ‘Top Shelf’, and even buy the whisky and have it delivered the same day depending on where you live.
The keen whisky lovers among you can learn more about your favourite tipple, including the different whiskies available and their individual characteristics.
In addition, you can link up with like-minded friends and see what they’re enjoying through a live activity feed.
