A New Way to Celebrate Whiskey Online

December 2011 – Whiskey fans now have a community-driven database they can call their own. WhiskeyNotes.com (www.whiskeynotes.com) is a community dedicated to tasting, discussing and sharing tasting notes on all kinds of whiskey from scotch to bourbon and rye to moonshine. Users can collect detailed tasting notes, save bottles to their wishlist or simply see what other people are drinking. It is the only whiskey database that is totally open: anyone can contribute new whiskeys, distilleries, tastings, events and locations.

WhiskeyNotes was started as a way for founder Ben Hoxie to track his own whiskey tastings. As he encountered more and more unique drams, he started to lose track of which bottles, regions and flavors he preferred. He soon realized that he wasn’t alone. “I found that there are tons of people who are interested in whiskey, but are intimidated by the lingo and conventions. The central mission of WhiskeyNotes is to bring whiskey fans of all types together to taste and learn about whiskey,” said Hoxie.

WhiskeyNotes is working on a personal recommendation engine that combines your existing tastings with overall scores from the community’s tastings to identity whiskeys you might enjoy. The more tastings you add, the better the recommendations will be.
