Whisky Smarts
Critic scores and age statements don't actually predict what you'll love. Whisky Smarts finds the real correlations in your data — which region, cask type, and peat level drive your best drams — and tells you where to find it again for less.
The Idea
Whisky culture is dominated by critic authority. The 95-point Speyside and the collector's cask-strength release carry the assumption that prestige equals pleasure. It doesn't — not for you specifically.
What actually determines whether a whisky is worth it to you is a combination of variables specific to your palate: region, cask type, peat level, distilling style. At the heart of Whisky Smarts is a palate engine that goes well beyond a star average. It learns the flavour dimensions behind your ratings — body, smoke, fruit, oak, maturity — builds a fingerprint of what you actually reward, and writes it back to you in plain language: not "you rate Speyside highly", but "you're a body-driven drinker who rewards distillery character and fermentation richness over peat volume." Every claim is confidence-gated, so the app tells you how much data is behind each conclusion instead of overclaiming on three drams.
From that model it ranks every bottle in your collection by value — quality delivered per euro spent — and surfaces the drivers you'd never have guessed.
The result: you drink better, you waste less, and you stop deferring to critics whose palates have nothing to do with yours. Age has no effect on your ratings — or it's the most important factor. The data decides.
Features
A flavour-dimension model — body, smoke, fruit, oak, maturity — learns what actually drives your ratings and renders it as a palate fingerprint with ranked value drivers. It then writes the result back to you in plain language, and gates every conclusion by how much data stands behind it. Updates with every dram logged.
€/★ scoring across every qualifying whisky in your collection. Your daily dram and special occasion bottle, calculated from your own data — not a critic's 95-point consensus.
Six auto-generated insight cards: region, style, cask, peat, value analysis, what you avoid. Tap any card for the full ranked breakdown behind the strapline.
"You think you like Speyside. Your data says you like heavily peated, ex-bourbon cask, non-chillfiltered single malts — which Springbank delivers." Reveals the real variable behind your apparent preferences.
Distillery, region, style, cask type, peat level (PPM), ABV, age, size, price, nose, palate, finish, rating. Live €/cl preview as you enter price and volume. Built for serious drinkers.
Glossary entries across region, style, cask, production, and concept dimensions. Every entry connects distilling tradition, chemistry, and flavour — grounded in your personal data.
Filter and sort by date, rating, price, value score, region, cask, or peat level. Value badges on every qualifying whisky. Below-standard bottles tracked separately — patterns in what you don't like matter too.
