Built like a real product.
Other alert services give you a Discord channel and call it a day. Bottle Scout gives you the alert and a way to act on it — from your phone, the map, or your texts.
Live map of every find
See exactly which stores have your bottle in stock — right now. Click any pin to see what’s on the shelf, the price, and directions.
SMS straight to your phone
Discord is great. Your texts are faster. Get the alert the second a store stocks your bottle — no app to open, no notification to swipe past.
Six retailers, one hunt
Costco. Walmart. Sam’s. BevMo. Total Wine. Safeway. We watch them all, with many more on the way.
Real alerts. Real bottles.

Three steps. Then you hunt.
- 01
Pick your bottles, pick your states
Tell us which allocated bottles you want and which stores are within driving distance. Eagle Rare? Pappy? Weller? A dozen rare picks? Up to you.
- 02
We scan around the clock
Bottle Scout checks every store, every retailer, every few minutes — looking for restocks, drops, and price changes. You sleep. We watch.
- 03
You get the alert — and the address
The second a store stocks one of your bottles, you get a Discord ping, a text, or both. With the price, the quantity, and the store address. Go get it.
Six retailers. No silos.
Other tools watch one store. Bottle Scout watches them all — so when your bottle drops, you hear about it no matter which chain stocks it.
Three tiers. One bottle closer.
Free works for the curious. Single Barrel includes a 7-day free trial. Barrel Proof unlocks the full product — web app, SMS, and the live map.

How fast are the alerts?
Most stores get scanned every few minutes. When a bottle hits the shelf, you usually see the alert in under five minutes — often less than one. We watch the inventory APIs directly, so you’re not waiting on a human to spot it.
Which states do you cover?
All 50, anywhere our retailers do business. You pick the states you actually shop in during setup — and you can change them anytime. No extra cost for adding states.
Is this legal?
Yes. We only check public inventory pages — the same ones the retailer shows you when you look up a bottle. We don’t scrape personal data, we don’t buy bottles for resale, and we don’t help with proxy buying. Hunters use the info to drive to a store and buy at retail.
Can I really cancel anytime?
Yes. One click in your account. You keep access through the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.
What’s the difference between Single Barrel and Barrel Proof?
Single Barrel gets you Discord alerts across every retailer. Barrel Proof adds the live map, SMS-to-your-phone alerts, favorites, and early access to new features. If you live in Discord, Single Barrel is plenty. If you want the alert to come straight as a text — or you want to plan your hunt on a map — go Barrel Proof.
Do you alert on Pappy / EH Taylor / Blanton’s / Stagg Jr.?
Yes — those are exactly the bottles we built this for. Plus dozens of other allocated and hard-to-find picks. You pick which bottles you want to be alerted on; we watch them across every retailer that stocks them.
