Gestern, am Sonntag, war ein besonderer Feiertag für whiskybase.com, die mit Usercontent gefüllte Datenbank der Whiskyabfüllungen: Das Rating Nummer 1.000.000 wurde abgegeben.
Whiskybase umfasst momentan bereits über 100.000 Einträge zu Whiskybottlings und ist damit sicher die umfangreichste Datenbank, die der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung steht. Man kann mit Whiskybase seine eigene Sammlung verwalten, Wunschlisten anlegen und Einträge nach Ratings oder Tasting Notes durchsuchen. Links zu Händlern stellen aktuelle Preise zur Verfügung, es gibt auch einen Shop und die Möglichkeit, seine eigenen Flaschen in Auktionen zu stellen oder zu verkaufen.
Wir gratulieren Whiskybase ganz herzlich zu diesem Meilenstein! Nachstehend bringen wir die englischsprachige Pressemitteilung für Sie:
Whiskybase.com celebrates 1 Million whisky ratings
The leading whisky platform and community site hits 1 million whisky ratings.
Netherlands: Sunday the 8th of April, Whiskybase.com, the leading whisky platform and community site, celebrates reaching 1 million whisky ratings. Whiskybase, which started as a website to keep track of whisky bottle information, has grown into the leading platform for information about whisky releases and ratings.
Menno Bijmolt, the founder of Whiskybase, on this milestone: “When starting the website, it was primarily just to keep track of whiskies I tasted and share this with other whisky drinkers. I couldn’t have imagined that so many people would be using the website and that we would gather 1 million ratings. Recently, we hit 100.000 unique bottles in Whiskybase and now we have 1 million ratings, it still feels unreal.”
There are some new exciting developments coming up that will make Whiskybase accessible for people who prefer to read in their own language. As people increasingly rely on these tasting notes for their whisky purchases, it goes without saying we will continue to focus on the quality of the information given by our members.
In the near future Whiskybase will offer automatically translated tasting notes using Artificial Inteligence technology and a guide that will help new whisky enthusiasts to leave proper ratings and tasting notes.
About Whiskybase: Whiskybase is a Dutch-based company consisting of an online and an a in Rotterdam; an event company that hosts a wide range of activities, including the yearly Whiskybase Gathering in Rotterdam; Archives, our independent bottler brand; and whiskybase.com, the leading whisky information website.
