Frame reads distillery, age statement, and proof straight from the front label. Mash bill, release year, and barrel info come from the back label or the bottling number. Edit any field before saving; single barrel and store picks are matched by the barrel ID.

02 — Quick add

Snap the label. Frame fills the rest.

Ask your shelf anything. In plain English.

Talk to your collection. Frame answers from your own data — distillery, age, proof, mash bill, paid, current value — and acts on what it finds. Pull a hold-do-not-open list, build a side-by-side bourbon tasting, or generate an insurance export without writing a single formula.

  • Filter by anything in your columns — region, type, mash bill, age, paid, value
  • Turn answers into actions: tasting lineups, hold lists, insurance exports

05 — The shelf, indexed

Every bottle. Every field. One view.

Why these fields

Built for how whiskey are actually tracked.

NameDistilleryRegionTypeAgeProofPurchase priceEst. value

Whiskey valuations come from two places: the rare bottles you hunt for (Pappy, BTAC, dusty single malts) and the workhorses you actually drink (Buffalo Trace, Maker's). Frame tracks both with the same fields — distillery, region, type, age, proof, paid, current value — because the rare ones need provenance and the workhorses need replenishment notes. Wheated vs. high-rye, BTAC vs. store pick, single barrel vs. small batch — capture it in the Type field, filter on it later.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why is whiskey separate from wine when most apps lump them together?+

Different collectors. Bourbon and scotch buyers track distillery, age statement, proof, mash bill, and barrel info — none of which map onto a wine cellar's region/varietal/vintage frame. Splitting the categories means the columns, the AI fill, and the SEO all match what whiskey collectors actually search for.

Can I track Kentucky bourbon, scotch, and Japanese whisky in the same collection?+

Yes — this category covers every whiskey style. Use the Type field to differentiate (Bourbon, Single Malt Scotch, Japanese, Rye, Irish, Tennessee). Most US collectors run a bourbon-heavy shelf with a Scotch corner and a few Japanese trophies; Frame handles that mix natively.

How does Frame value rare bourbon like Pappy or BTAC?+

Frame uses AI to pull market data — auction comps, secondary marketplaces, recent retail releases — and proposes a current estimate per bottle. You can accept the estimate, adjust it, or override it entirely; your number is what gets used in reports. Refresh on demand for the bottles that move, leave the workhorses on a longer cadence.

Can I track single barrel picks and store releases?+

Yes. Use the back label barrel ID or pick name in Notes. Frame's AI fill reads the barrel number off the bottle, so single barrel Eagle Rare or store pick Old Forester are tagged distinctly from standard releases — important when one barrel is appreciating and the next isn't.

What about sealed vs. open tracking — does the value change?+

Yes — sealed bottles command a premium, especially for allocated releases. Frame tracks status (Sealed / Open / Empty) per bottle. When you crack a Pappy, mark it open; the value drops to drinking value, and your schedule still reflects what's actually on the shelf.
