This Thursday (November 10, 2011) the new iWhiskyWhiskey app for the iPhone and iPod touch was released into Apple’s App Store. Since 2009, the iMalt app has been the single malt whisky lovers’ prefered app for keeping track of whisky collections and tasting notes. The all new iWhiskyWhiskey app has the same great features as the iMalt app, but the focus is on all other whisky and whiskey types than single malt.

The iWhiskyWhiskey app includes more than 200 whiskies and whiskeys devided into categories based on their type. For example you will find Scotch blended malt whisky from Chivas, Irish pure pot still whiskey from Jameson, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Jim Beam, Tennessee whiskey from Jack Daniel’s, Canadian blended whisky from Canadian Club and Japenese single grain whisky from Nikka. All bottles are beautifully illustrated and described in detail. You can easily add more whiskies and whiskeys yourself or you can receive them by subscribing to the iTasteNote Cloud Service.

The iWhiskyWhiskey app is also an excellent tool for keeping track of your tasting notes. A detailed and easy-to-use tasting note guide will help you to determine the color, nose, body, taste and finish and you can give each whisk(e)y an overall rating. You can add written notes as well. It is also possible to group a set of whiskies/whiskeys by a tasting event that you have attended or you can group them by the store you have bought them in. Off course you can also mark bottles that are in your collection and you can maintain a whisk(e)y wish list

The iTasteNote Cloud Service, which first came to the iMalt app, is also available to iWhiskyWhiskey users. The main features of this service is sharing of ratings and tasting notes and regular updates of brands and their whiskies/whiskeys. The iTasteNote Cloud Service does also provide online backup and it enables synchronization of data between your iPhone, iPad (when iWhiskyWhiskey HD comes out) and iPod touch. Subscribing to the iTasteNote Cloud Service gives you access to extra features and content in both the iWhiskyWhiskey app and the iMalt app.

The iWhiskyWhisky app will be offered for free in Apple’s App Store for a limited period of time. The iTasteNote Cloud Service is offered as an in-app-purchase and costs $9.99 / 7.99 € for 90 days access, $14.99 / 11.99 € for 180 days access and $19.99 / 15.99 € for 360 days access.
