Find the bottle you meant to buy again.
Your score, your notes, the maguey and the NOM sit together, so months later you have more to go on than a blurry photo.
Your score answers the useful question: would you pour it again?
Your tequila and mezcal journal
Remember every pour. Know how it was made.
Log a pour in twenty seconds: the class, the maguey, the NOM, and what it actually tasted like. Your Shelf knows what is open, how much is left and what you paid. And Tahona, your guide, has read both. No expertise needed.
Coming soon to the App Store
See how it works
iPhone · Free journal · Optional Pro · Legal drinking age only
You poured something at a mezcaleria in October and gave it a nine. In February you are in front of a wall of bottles with no idea what it was called.
Agave & Note fixes that.
What it does
Log the pour. Keep the Shelf. Ask Tahona.
IThe journal
What was that one called?
Pick the bottle, pick how you took it, score it out of ten, tap a few flavours, done. Four pours at a bar is one tasting, not four chores. At home, open More detail and go as deep as you like.
- Neat, rocks, with sangrita, a highball, a cocktail or a flight.
- Nose, palate and finish notes, plus six structure meters: Sweet, Spice, Smoke, Oak, Heat and Finish.
- The producer, class, region, ABV, age statement, the agave, the lot, the bottled year and the NOM.
- A flavour library of 101 notes in ten families, from cooked agave to mesquite and copal. Free text always works.
IIHow it was made
Pit, tahona, clay pot?
Six production fields on every bottle, each optional: the class, how the agave was cooked, how it was crushed, what it fermented in, wild or cultured yeast, and the still.
- Tequila, mezcal, raicilla and bacanora, plus sotol, filed as its own thing because it is not an agave spirit.
- Sixteen magueys by name, from Blue Weber and espadin to tobala and tepeztate, and free entry for one the app has never heard of.
- Seven attribute flags, from 100% Agave to Wild Harvested and Still Strength.
IIIAsk Tahona
A guide that has read your journal.
Tahona is named after the stone wheel that crushes the agave. It answers from your own pours and your own Shelf, not a crowd average. Ask what to open tonight, what a word on the label means, or what to try next.
Ask it things like
- What does the NOM on a label tell me?
- What should I open tonight?
- What is the difference between artesanal and ancestral?
- Build me a three-pour flight for tonight.
Five messages a month on Free, unlimited on Pro. Pro also adds Tonight’s Pour, flight plans, and a palate report worked out from the pours you have logged. Tahona will not tell you whether a bottle contains additives, and it will not answer a medical question.
“What should I pour tonight?”
IVThe Shelf
Your shelf, drawn as your shelf.
Every bottle at its real fill level. Sealed or open, what you paid, where you bought it, when you opened it, and every event since: opened, poured, killed, gifted, sold, restocked. No cap on bottles, on any plan.
- SealedOn the Shelf, waiting.
- OpenFull, three quarters or half.
- HeelA quarter left, or the last pour or two.
- KilledFinished, and still remembered.
VTonight’s Pour
What should I open tonight?
Tell it the occasion and Tahona picks one bottle off your own open Shelf, says why, and names a runner-up. Tonight’s Pour is part of Pro.
- Unwinding, celebrating, company over, something new: the occasion changes what gets picked.
- It weighs what you scored last time and what is down to its last pours.
VIScan the label
Skip the typing.
Point the camera at a bottle and the app reads what is printed, then shows you everything it read to correct before it saves. It never fills in a field the label does not state.
- Three scans to try on Free, unlimited on Pro.
- Every field stays editable, before and after you save.
VIIThe hunt list
Where did I see that bottle?
The bottles you are chasing, with a target price and where you last saw one. Found it? It moves onto the Shelf with the facts already filled in.
- Free and unlimited, like the Shelf.
Why Agave & Note
Honest about what a label can tell you.
Agave spirits carry more of their making on the label than most. Agave & Note records it plainly, and never claims more than it knows.
Additive free is a claim, and it is recorded as one.
Tequila can legally carry additives without saying so. So the app never tells you a bottle is additive free. It records that somebody said so, and who: the label, the producer, or you.
No verified badge, and no way to mark a bottle as having additives, because a blank is not evidence.
Yours, privately.
No feed, no followers, no leaderboard. Your notes are private to your account. Export your journal to CSV whenever you like.
Delete your account from inside the app and it is actually gone.

A guide on call
Ask Tahona anything about tequila, mezcal and the rest. Every answer starts from your own scores and your own Shelf, and a question about one specific bottle gets looked up rather than guessed.
Tonight’s Pour
Tell it the mood and it picks one bottle off your own open Shelf.
Flights, planned
Three to five pours from what you own, in the order to taste them.
Your palate, written down
A report worked out from the pours you have logged: what keeps scoring high, and what to try next.
A Shelf that explains itself
What your Shelf is made of, what you have spent by month, and which heels to finish.
Scan every bottle
As many label scans as a good bottle shop takes, plus photos on every pour.
Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription: $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. The 3-day free trial is on the annual plan only. It renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in your App Store subscription settings; cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next charge. Billed through your Apple Account. Prices shown in US dollars; the App Store shows the price in your currency before you buy. Pro features carry the fair-use limits described in our Terms of Use.
Questions
Answered before you ask.
When can I get it?
Agave & Note is in the final stretch of App Store review and launches on iPhone soon. This page will link straight to the App Store the day it is live.
Will my journal get locked behind Pro?
No. Every pour, score and note, your whole Shelf and your hunt list are free for as long as you use the app, and exporting your journal is free too. Pro adds unlimited Tahona, Tonight’s Pour, flights, the palate report, unlimited scans, Shelf insights, photos and the richer export.
Will it tell me if a tequila has additives?
No, and on purpose. Who verifies what is unsettled, so the app only records that somebody stated a bottle is additive free, and who said it. Tahona will not rule on it either.
Is my journal public?
No. Agave & Note has no feed, no followers and no leaderboard. Your notes are private to your account, and you can delete the account, and everything in it, at any time.
Is Tahona always right?
No. Tahona is an AI guide and it can be wrong. Treat it as a well-read friend, not an authority. It asks before anything is sent to it, and you can keep using the journal without it.
Who is it for?
Adults of legal drinking age where they live, and never anyone under 18. The app asks before you can use it. Please drink responsibly.
Your next pour deserves to be remembered.
