Cask & Note

Your whiskey journal

Remember every pour. Know every bottle.

Log a pour in twenty seconds: the bottle, how you took it, a score out of ten and a few flavours. Your Bunker knows what is open, how much is left and what you paid. And Stillman, your whiskey guide, has read both. No expertise needed.

The Cask & Note home screen: your journey so far, Stillman and your palate.

You poured something good at a bar in October and gave it a nine. In February you are standing in front of the same shelf with no idea what it was called.

Cask & Note fixes that.

What it does

Log the pour. Keep the Bunker. Ask Stillman.

IThe journal

What was that one called?

Pick the bottle, pick how you took it, score it out of ten, tap a few flavours, done. A pour at the bar takes twenty seconds. At home, open More detail and go as deep as you like.

  • Neat, rocks, a splash of water, a highball, a cocktail or a flight.
  • Nose, palate and finish notes, plus six structure meters: Sweet, Spice, Smoke, Oak, Heat and Finish.
  • The facts that matter: proof, age statement, mash bill, finish cask, batch, barrel number and store pick.
  • A flavour library of 160 notes, from caramel and cornbread to brine and old leather. Free text always works.

IIEvery bottle

How much is left in that one?

Every bottle in the Bunker has its own page: the fill level, the facts off the label, where it sits and what you paid. Log a pour from it in one tap, and mark it killed, gifted or sold when it goes.

  • Set the fill level in one tap: full, three quarters, half, quarter, heel or killed.
  • Style, region, proof, bottle size, shelf and price, all in one place.

IIIAsk Stillman

A whiskey guide that has read your journal.

Stillman answers from your own pours and your own Bunker, not a crowd average. Ask what to open tonight, what a word on the label means, or what to try next. The more you log, the better its answers fit you.

Ask it things like

  • What on my shelf is closest to Weller 12?
  • Build me a three-pour flight for tonight.
  • What makes a bourbon wheated?
  • What on my shelf is worth opening tonight?

Five messages a month on Free, unlimited on Pro. Pro also adds Tonight’s Pour, which picks one bottle off your open shelf for the mood you are in, flight plans, and a palate report worked out from the pours you have logged. On Pro, Stillman can look a specific bottle up on the web and show you where it read.

“What should I pour tonight?”

Stillman answering which bottle on the shelf to open on a cold night.

IVThe Bunker

Your shelf, drawn as your shelf.

Every bottle at its real fill level, grouped where you actually keep it. Sealed or open, what you paid, where you bought it, when you opened it, and the whole history since: opened, poured, refilled, killed, gifted, sold. No cap on bottles, on any plan.

  • SealedUnopened, waiting its turn.
  • OpenFull, three quarters or half.
  • HeelA quarter left, or the last pour or two.
  • KilledFinished, and still remembered.

VTonight’s Pour

What should I open tonight?

Tell it the occasion and Stillman picks one bottle off your own open shelf, says why, and names a runner-up. Tonight’s Pour is part of Pro.

  • Unwinding, celebrating, company over, something new: the occasion changes what gets picked.
  • It weighs what you scored last time and what is down to its last pours.

VIScan the label

Skip the typing.

Point the camera at a bottle and Cask & Note reads the distillery, expression, proof, age statement and mash bill off the label. It never guesses a field that is not printed, and you review everything before it saves.

  • Three scans to try on Free, unlimited on Pro.
  • Every field stays editable, before and after you save.

VIIThe hunt list

Where did I see that bottle?

The bottles you are chasing, with a target price and where you last saw one. Found it? Tap Found it and it moves straight into the Bunker with the facts already filled in.

  • Keep the allocated bottles and the store picks in one list.
  • Free and unlimited, like the Bunker.

Why Cask & Note

More useful every time you come back to it.

Rating apps know the bottle but not your shelf. Inventory spreadsheets know the shelf but not what it tasted like. Cask & Note keeps both, and hands them to a guide.

Find the bottle you meant to buy again.

Your score, your notes and the label facts sit together, so months later you have more to go on than a blurry photo.

Your score answers the useful question: would you pour it again?

Finish the heels before they fade.

Every bottle shows its real fill level, so you can see at a glance which open bottles are down to a heel and pour the good ones while they are good.

Pro adds insights: what your shelf is made of, what you have spent by month and which bottles have waited longest.

Yours, privately.

No feed, no followers, no leaderboard. Your notes are private to your account. Export your journal to CSV whenever you want.

Delete your account from inside the app and it is actually gone.

A guide on call

Ask Stillman anything about whiskey. Every answer starts from your own scores and your own shelf, and a question about one specific bottle gets looked up rather than guessed.

Tonight’s Pour

Tell it the mood and it picks one bottle off your own open shelf, and tells you how to take it.

Flights, planned

Three to five pours from what you own, in the order to taste them.

Your palate, written down

A report worked out from the pours you have logged: what keeps scoring high, and what to try next.

A Bunker that explains itself

What your collection is made of, what you have spent by month, and which open bottles have been waiting the longest.

Scan every bottle

As many label scans as a store pick hunt takes, plus photos on every pour.

Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription: $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. The 3-day free trial is on the annual plan only. It renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in your App Store subscription settings; cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next charge. Billed through your Apple Account. Prices shown in US dollars; the App Store shows the price in your currency before you buy. Pro features carry the fair-use limits described in our Terms of Use.

Questions

Answered before you ask.

When can I get it?

Cask & Note is in the final stretch of App Store review and launches on iPhone soon. This page will link straight to the App Store the day it is live.

Will my journal get locked behind Pro?

No. Every pour, score and note, your whole Bunker and your hunt list are free for as long as you use the app, and exporting your journal is free too. Pro adds unlimited Stillman, Tonight’s Pour, flights, the palate report, unlimited scans, Bunker insights, photos and the richer export.

Is there a limit on how many bottles I can track?

No. There is no cap on bottles in the Bunker, on any plan.

Is my journal public?

No. Cask & Note has no feed, no followers and no leaderboard. Your notes are private to your account, and you can delete the account, and everything in it, at any time.

Is Stillman always right?

No. Stillman is an AI guide and it can be wrong. Treat it as a well-read friend, not an authority. It asks before anything is sent to it, and you can keep using the journal without it.

Who is it for?

Adults of legal drinking age where they live, and never anyone under 18. The app asks before you can use it. Please drink responsibly.

Your next pour deserves to be remembered.
