Hello to all rum and whisky enthusiasts and our valuable customers! We are here with another summary of news from SpiritRadar and rum and whisky markets.
We also would like to thank you for all your messages and kind words. We greatly appreciate your feedback and we are working on lots more improvements for you based on your suggestions and requests.
We have launched the new category - whisky - on the magical date 02/02/2022. You can browse among 41 500+ whisky bottles and we continue to add around 150 new products every day.
The most interesting new feature is a chart with the historical value of your collection, which provides a great overview of your portfolio. The chart shows the total value and total purchase price of your collection in time, as well as a total profit on a separate tab. You can find it under the My Collection tab.
Please note that the chart works with purchase dates you have entered when adding a bottle to your collection, so make sure that they are filled in. Otherwise you would be missing a lot of data!
We also introduced several smaller features. Do you wish to see rum or whisky from, for example, Europe only? We have added a new filter, “Country/Region of Origin”, to make searching easier for you.
We have added a country flag right next to the store name for better clarity. You can find it in “Shopping Tips”, “Inbox” and more.
You can also find the country flag in auctions. The flag indicates where the seller is located, which is especially useful for eBay auctions.
35 out of 76 newly added rum products were added at your request. This makes an incredible number of 11 052 rum bottles and 41 856 whisky bottles in total, which you can easily find and track in our app. Did not find the one you were looking for? Fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
We have added 95 new e-commerce sites. We are currently tracking over 1 315 sites in total. Did not find your favourite e-store? Fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
As we promised last month, today we are launching the next category, whisky, today. After logging into the app, you will find more than 40,000 whisky bottles. In total, we now have nearly 1 million offers and auctions just for whisky. The first offer dates back to 2011. We monitor more than 1,300 online stores and we discover thousands of new and exciting offers in stock every day. Be among the first to know when a new bottle becomes available!
Since the launch of SpiritRadar.com in September 2021, we have increased the number of bottles from a few thousand to over 50,000 bottles. And we're definitely not stopping there.
Whiskies are available without additional charge to anyone with an active subscription or an active trial. If you tried the application in the past and would like to try it again, just contact us via chat in the app and we will give you another 14 days of free trial, without any commitments.
After logging into the app, you can choose which bottle categories you want to have visible. This feature is intended for users who, for example, do not wish to see whisky or rum bottles.
You can adjust the categories you want to see in your default listing in your account settings.
A new “Category” filter has been added (Inbox, All Bottles, Shopping Tips, and more). This allows you to quickly filter out only rums, for example.
Of course, we know we don't have all the whiskies that exist and will be working on adding new bottles in the coming months. If you know about any bottles that shouldn’t miss in our database, please help us by filling the reporting form in the All bottles section.
We would like to introduce you to the latest news on SpiritRadar and the rum market.

As we informed you at the end of December, the application is now more usable on mobile devices and tablets. Log in from your phone if you haven’t tried it yet! We use it all the time.
We have also delivered a few small changes and improvements in the usability of the app. The most notable one is a light green background for bottles on your watchlist all around the app. This will help you quickly identify bottles you are interested in.
26 out of 340 newly added products were added at your request. This makes an incredible number of 10.976 bottles in total you can easily find and track in our app. Did not find the one you were looking for? Fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

02/02/22 is the magical date we will launch the 2nd spirit category: whisky. The initial release will contain more than 35 000 "top bottles" and it will be available free of charge to all paying customers. Whether you are a fan of Irish, Scotch, or Japanese whisky, we’ll have some great deals for you.
After the launch, we will continue to add more bottles every day. Meantime, we are working on improving the overview of your collection. It will feature a chart with the historical value of your collection.
Early Christmas gift coming your way! We are pleased to announce that SpiritRadar now fully supports mobile devices, including tablets. These devices previously displayed the desktop version, which was not comfortable on these devices.
You might have noticed that the last few monthly newsletters didn’t contain any news from our development. We were focusing our efforts on the mobile version. This was a huge task: putting so much data on such a small screen was a challenge and it required a lot of testing (and a lot of battery cycles from our mobiles).
You might still encounter some rough edges, especially around long titles of offers and auctions. With more than 10 000 bottles and 240 000 offers in our database, it was simply impossible to test everything.
If you encounter something that seems broken, please contact us on su*****@sp*********.com, or drop us a line on our support chat.
Charts are essential for all SpiritRadar users. We took an extra effort to make them more usable on mobile screens. In the process, we managed to improve the experience on regular laptop and desktop computers.
The new charts are more concise and better looking. Additionally, they are much faster on all devices, which means that we can always show full history and allow you to zoom and scroll in the chart.
Do you like their new design?
You might have missed our previous news about company billing. If your company is in the alcohol business, you might be interested in subscribing for a company account.
Just enter your company billing details during the subscription, or change your billing address to a company. If you need subscriptions for multiple employees, contact us on in**@sp*********.com or using the support chat and we can discuss your case.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from everyone at the Spirit Radar team! We wish you a lot of amazing spirit-related discoveries in the upcoming year.
Our start this year was not easy, but all of you, our wonderful users, gave us a lot of joy on our journey. Year 2022 will be a big one, we will continue to improve the app, extend our data and add a new category of spirits: whisky. We hope you are excited as much as we are!

In addition to invoices for individuals, we now support company invoicing. This option is available now in 52 countries. Please note that you will still need a credit/debit card to pay for the subscription.
If you are an existing customer and you would like to receive invoices for your company, you can add your company billing details on the My Subscription page in application. If you would like to upgrade your subscription plan, you can also enter your company details when ordering your new plan.
In both cases, this change will affect only your future invoices. Due to accounting laws and regulations, we are unable to change your past invoices or perform this change in the middle of your billing period.
For example, if you purchased an annual subscription in September 2021, your first company invoice will be issued in September 2022. If you purchased a monthly subscription, you will get company invoices starting next month after the change.
If you are not a subscriber and you were waiting for the company billing option, just enter your company details when ordering your subscription.
Company invoices are available in the European Union, UK, US and many other countries. See the full list below:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America
