Pour Picks
Scan a label, add the bottle, and always know what's in your cellar, and what it's worth.
A bourbon inventory app is a phone app that catalogs every bottle in your collection, distillery, expression, proof, fill level, and value, so you always know what you own. Pour Picks does this on iOS: scan a label to add a bottle, track collection value, and log every pour in one private cellar.
For adults 21+ · No ads · Your collection stays yours
A growing bourbon collection quickly outgrows a spreadsheet or a notes file. You forget which bottles are open, buy a duplicate you already own, or lose track of what a rare pour is now worth. A dedicated bourbon inventory app keeps every bottle in one place, searchable, valued, and backed up to your account.
Pour Picks was built for exactly this. Instead of typing out each bottle, you scan the label and the app fills in the distillery, expression, and proof for you. It is the difference between a chore you stop doing and a cellar you actually keep current.
Point your iPhone camera at the front label. The Pour Concierge scanner uses Claude Vision to identify the distillery, expression, and proof, then matches against a catalog of thousands of American whiskeys, usually in under a second. No manual data entry for the common case.
When a bottle is missing or the scan isn't right, you can describe it in words for a second pass, search the catalog by name, or suggest a new bottle to be added. An undo snackbar gives you 4.5 seconds to reverse any add, so mistakes never stick.
Yes, collection value updates with every bottle you add. Pour Picks uses catalog MSRP as the default price and lets you override it with what you actually paid. You get per-bottle and per-line totals, plus quantity steppers for the bottles you own in multiples.
Mark each bottle Owned, Wishlist, or Finished, and the running total reflects only what's actually resting in your cellar. It's a real number for insurance, resale decisions, or just knowing where your hobby budget went.
Every pour can be logged with an overall rating, separate nose, palate, and finish ratings, how you served it (neat, rocks, water, or cocktail), pour size, and freeform notes. Edit and revisit any entry later, so your tasting history grows alongside your inventory.
A "Pour Tonight" feature reads your actual cellar and suggests a specific bottle to open tonight, based on what you've poured recently, your ratings, and the season, a recommendation from what you already own, not a prompt to buy more.

What is the best bourbon inventory app?
The best bourbon inventory app is the one that makes adding bottles fast and keeps your data private. Pour Picks adds bottles by scanning the front label with your iPhone camera, tracks live collection value against MSRP, and logs tasting notes per pour. It is free to download, with an optional Cask Club subscription ($2.99/month) for unlimited scans and advanced cellar tools. Your collection is never sold or used for advertising.
Is there a free app to track my bourbon collection?
Yes. Pour Picks is free to download and use for cataloging your cellar, taking the palate quiz, and basic bottle tracking. A Cask Club subscription unlocks unlimited AI label scans, full journaling, and collection value tracking, but you can build and browse a cellar without paying. Subscriptions are billed through Apple, so payment details never touch Pour Picks servers.
How do I scan a bourbon bottle to add it to my collection?
Open Pour Picks, tap to add a bottle, and point your iPhone camera at the front label. The Pour Concierge scanner uses Claude Vision to read the distillery, expression, and proof, then matches it against a catalog of thousands of American whiskeys, usually in under a second. If the read is not right, you can describe the bottle in text, search manually, or suggest a new bottle for the catalog.
Can a bourbon inventory app track how much my collection is worth?
Yes. Pour Picks keeps a running value of your cellar using catalog MSRP as the default price, with an override for what you actually paid. It shows per-bottle and per-line totals, with quantity steppers for bottles you own multiples of, so the total reflects your real collection, not a guess.
Does Pour Picks work on Android?
Pour Picks launched on iOS first and is available now on the App Store. An Android release is on the roadmap but not yet scheduled. If you want a heads-up when Android ships, email support@pourpicks.app.
