Mobile platform for discovering, reviewing, and tracking premium spirits, combining expert ratings, community reviews, and personalized recommendations in one seamless experience.
Distiller came to us with a loyal user base and an aging codebase that couldn't keep up with what its community wanted. Before any code was written, we agreed on the four problems a modern spirits app has to solve.
Reliable information on spirits existed, but it was scattered, fragmented, and difficult to trust.
Expert opinions and community ratings were fragmented across platforms, turning bottle selection into guesswork.
Tasting journeys were personal, but the records were fragmented, spread across notebooks, screenshots, and memory.
Spirits enthusiasm was deeply social, but meaningful discussion, discovery, and shared expertise were scattered across platforms.

We rebuilt Distiller around four surfaces that work as one, each engineered to answer one of the problems above, and each shipped to iOS and Android from the same codebase.
Information on thousands of spirits in one place: composition, flavor notes, history, and serving recommendations. Search and filters simplify choosing; clear cards make browsing the catalogue an experience in itself.
Professional reviews are complemented by detailed feedback from real users, giving every spirit a well-rounded picture. Sorting by rating and comments helps users compare options and decide with confidence faster.
Scan a bottle to instantly access its composition, reviews, and tailored recommendations in one place. A fast and effortless way to understand what's inside, compare impressions, and make a more confident choice before tasting or buying.
We've designed a smart tool that lets you save drink cards into custom lists. Now you can always remember your favorites and easily revisit the ones you want to try again!
We built a tool that lets users save the spirit cards they care about into their own custom lists, so they always remember what they enjoyed, what they'd love to taste next, and which bottles to save or revisit when the moment is right.
Distiller runs on a single React Native codebase, released to both stores through an automated CI/CD pipeline. The result is one product, two platforms, and a delivery cadence the team can sustain forever.
We started from the original Distiller app and the four problems its community needed solved, then turned them into a concrete product and engineering plan.
A complete visual redesign of the catalogue, reviews, personal lists, and community surfaces, defined before engineering started so the build had a clear, shared target.
One codebase delivers both iOS and Android apps. Every change lands on both platforms at once, instead of drifting apart between two separate native builds.
An automated pipeline builds, signs, and prepares releases for both stores, so shipping a new update becomes a routine operation, not a multi-day event.

Distiller launched successfully on iOS and Android, fully met the client's expectations, and became a useful daily tool for spirits enthusiasts, on a React Native foundation the team can keep evolving.
