Distiller, Your Whiskey Companion

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 08, 2015 -- Distiller, the world’s first free whiskey companion, recommendation and discovery engine, today announced its Mobile Site and Android and iOS apps have been nominated for both the best in Food & Drink, and Guides/Ratings/Reviews categories for the 2015 Webby Awards. Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. IADAS, which nominates and selects The Webby Award Winners, is comprised of web industry experts, including Tumblr founder, David Karp, Grantland’s Bill Simmons, Lucky Magazine’s Editor-in-chief, Eva Chen, Instagram co-founder, Kevin Systrom, mobile phone inventor Martin Cooper, and creator of the .gif file format, Steve Wilhite.

The Distiller app is available on iOS and Android and was developed for the novice, adventurous and discerning whisky lovers to explore their personal tastes and learn more about the craft, history, culture and world of whiskey, while connecting with others of like-mind. It is the only app to offer personalized whiskey recommendations based on flavor preference, expertise level, drinking environment, price and other criteria. Users can create and share digital collections, and find out what other people around the world are tasting, drinking and thinking. To date, Distiller has served over 3.5 Million personalized whiskey recommendations and has been installed on over 150,000 devices. 2015 marks the second year in a row Distiller has been nominated for a Webby Award.

“We’re honored and excited to be nominated in these two fantastic categories in the 2015 Webby Awards. We created Distiller to help people around the world discover and learn about spirits, and receiving recognition from the Webby Awards for that is incredibly gratifying,” said Mikael Mossberg, co-Founder and CEO of Distiller.

Distiller, nominated in two categories, is also eligible to win a Webby People’s Voice Award, which is voted online by fans across the globe. From now until April 23rd, Distiller’s fans can cast their votes in both categories –

There they will have an opportunity to deliver one of The Webby Awards’ famous 5-Word Speeches. Past 5-Word Speeches include: Steve Wilhite’s “It’s Pronounced “Jif” not ‘Gif’; Stephen Colbert’s “Me.
