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. Your palate report shows how you really drink. And Tahona, your guide, has read it all. No expertise needed.
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 in half points, 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.
- A switch at the top of the Journal takes you straight to your Pours, your Tier list or your Palate.
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. Every bottle has its own page, with your pours, what each one cost you and a way to ask Tahona about it.
- 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.
Every question costs one AI credit, and you start with 10 free. Tonight’s Pour and flight plans cost three each, and Tahona can look a specific bottle up on the web with no extra charge. 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. See it as shelves or as a list, with your totals on top. 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.
VYour palate report
How you actually drink, in one line.
Log a dozen pours and the report reads them back to you: a flavor ring of the families you reach for, and one line that sums you up. Then the notes you keep coming back to and what you pour most. Share it as a card.
- The flavor ring shows ten families at a glance, with the strongest ones filled in.
- The notes you reach for, how you really use the scale, and whether your palate has moved.
- Share your palate as a card. Pro adds the report, and the card without the watermark.
VIYour tier list
Your best bottles, on the podium.
Every bottle you have scored, ranked into tiers. The top three stand on the podium, and the rest sit on shelves under tier names like Worth the hunt and Good company. Switch to Best value to rank what you got for the money.
- Rank by your score, or by best value.
- Open it from the Journal, or from the Tier list tile on Home.
- Share it as a card. Pro.
VIIShelf insights and Empties
What your Shelf has been up to.
Shelf insights add up what the collection is worth and what you paid, which bottle was the best value, which has been open the longest and which heels to finish. Empties counts up the bottles you finished: how many, how long each lasted and what a pour cost.
- Spend by month, collection value and cost per pour.
- Bottles waiting too long, and heels to finish.
- How your bottles were made, and your other bottles from the same NOM.
- Empties, with a note on the longest and fastest to finish. Pro.
VIIIThe hunt list
Where did I see that bottle?
The bottles you are chasing, with a target price and the date and place you last saw one. Found it? It moves onto the Shelf with the facts already filled in. Scan a bar menu and it flags anything on your hunt list.
- Hunting and Found, each with its own count.
- Add a bottle you already own and the app tells you.
- Free for as long as you use the app, like the Shelf.
IXTonight’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 costs three AI credits. Want more than one? Build a flight: three to five pours from your Shelf, in the order to taste them.
- 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.
XScan the label or the menu
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. At a bar, scan the menu instead and it shows what is on your hunt list, what you have already tasted and what you own.
- A label scan costs one AI credit and a menu scan two. You start with 10 free.
- Every field stays editable, before and after you save.
- The menu photo is read and not saved.
XIYour tools
One tap from Home.
Home has a grid of tools: Blind flight, Compare, Tier list, Your year, Shelf value, Empties and Import your data. Pro tools show a PRO tag, and Empties and Import are free to open.
- Blind flights and tasting nights, with a guess game.
- Compare two or three pours side by side.
- Your year in review, and your Shelf value.
- Bring your old spreadsheet. AI can match the columns for you, for one credit.

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 flavor ring and one line that sums up how you drink, worked out from the pours you have logged. Share it as a card.
A tier list with a podium
Your best bottles on top, ranked by your score or by best value.
A Shelf that explains itself
What your Shelf is worth, what you have spent by month, which heels to finish and what you have finished.
Scan every bottle
A label scan is one AI credit, a bar menu scan is two, and Pro adds photos on every pour.
Start without an account
Log first, sign up later. Light or dark, your choice.
Pro is a one-time purchase of $14.99, billed once through your Apple Account, and it can be restored on any device signed in to the same Apple Account. It includes 25 AI credits. AI credits are consumable: you buy them in packs, they never expire and they stay with your account in this app. Prices shown in US dollars; the App Store shows the price in your currency before you buy.
Questions
Answered before you ask.
When can I get it?
Agave & Note is available now on the App Store for iPhone.
Will my journal get locked behind Pro?
No. Every pour, score and note, your whole Shelf, your hunt list and importing your spreadsheet are free for as long as you use the app. Tahona, scans and flights run on AI credits, and Pro, paid once, adds Shelf insights, the palate report, blind flight, collection value, your tier list and year in review, compare, photos and themes, and the full CSV export. A free copy of your data is always available by emailing us, unlock or not.
How do AI credits work?
You start with 10 free. A question for Tahona costs 1 credit, a label scan 1, a bar menu scan 2, Tonight’s Pour 3, a flight plan 3, and AI column matching on a spreadsheet import 1. Pro includes 25 credits, and packs of 50, 110 or 250 credits cost $4.99, $9.99 and $19.99. Credits never expire.
Do I pay for Pro every month?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase of $14.99. Pay once and keep it, and restore it on a new phone with the same Apple Account.
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.
