01 / Hunt & Plan
Make Every Stop Count.
Start with a bourbon-focused map. Add your own private store notes, check community scores, and look at sightings and store information with their source and freshness in view.
Set a stop count, distance, score threshold, open-now preference, and whether to include new stores.
Choose Fastest or Best Stores First, reorder or skip stops, and open the route in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
Retailers may publish inventory, deliveries, drops, and allocation practices. Old details can become unknown, so confirm before traveling.
02 / Price Check & Trade Analyzer
Know The Bottle. Weigh The Trade.
Search the catalog or scan a verified barcode at the shelf. Stave separates suggested retail from market context so you can make your own call.
Three Views Of A Price.
- MSRP
- The suggested retail price, when known. It is not a store's current shelf price.
- Secondary Estimate
- A market estimate from available sales evidence, with source context. It is not a live offer or guaranteed resale price.
- Fair Hunt Price
- A practical in-store reference based on available pricing, rarity, and hunt context. It may appear as a range, a single value, or a retail fallback.
See Both Sides Of A Trade.
Trade Analyzer compares the bottles on each side with raw and rarity-adjusted context, then shows the relative gap. It is decision support, not a guaranteed trade value.
What If A Price Is Missing?
Stave shows MSRP as Unknown when it does not have one. A missing current market estimate may read No Recent Sales or Estimate Unavailable; some exact single-barrel releases need more specific evidence. Fair Hunt Price may fall back to known MSRP or show No Target Yet. Check the bottle identity and source before relying on any number.
Estimates are informational and depend on available evidence. They do not guarantee a price.
03 / Cellar
Keep What You Find.
Your collection is more than a count of bottles. Keep the details that make every find useful later.
Track quantity, purchase information, condition, storage, ratings, notes, and favorites in one place.
Explore collection value and cost basis alongside rarity, distilleries, and your most valuable bottles.
Staves Pick can draw from your cellar, favorites, wishlist, or price-friendly options.
04 / Feed & Drops
Stay Close To The Conversation.
Different kinds of updates deserve different views. Move from fellow hunters to store announcements without losing the source.
Community
Shared scores and hunts, groups, and activity from other enthusiasts.
For You
Bottle ideas shaped by your preferences, with optional My Palette input on your device. Ideas are not local stock reports.
Radar
Official label approvals to explore. An approval is not a release announcement.
Stores
Store announcements, inventory and delivery updates, sightings, follows, and rankings with source and freshness context.
Local Drops
Catch The Announcement. Keep The Date.
Browse local drops and lotteries, including stores you do not follow. Switch to Following, search, filter, and sort. Set eligible opt-in alerts, reminders, or a Calendar event, and keep your entries on My Drop Board.
Drop announcements do not guarantee stock or entry. Confirm details with the retailer.
For Store Owners
Your Store Has More To Share Than Rare Bottles.
Help local hunters discover your store and understand the updates you choose to publish. Everyday selection and clear information matter, even without a steady stream of allocated bottles.

See How It WorksCommon Questions
The Essentials.
Does Stave Sell Alcohol?
No. Stave does not sell alcohol or process purchases. Retailer links, when shown, open the retailer's own site.
Can I Trust A Reported Sighting Or Store Update?
Check its source and update time. Availability and store details can change, so confirm with the retailer before making a trip.
Is Stave Available On Android?
Stave is currently an iPhone app. The App Store listing has the latest compatibility details.
A First Hunt In Stave
From An Idea To A Good Stop.
Use Stave as a companion for the decision, then confirm changing details with the store.
- 01 / Find
Open Hunt.
Search an area and compare nearby stores, community scores, and current store information. An unrated store is simply unrated.
- 02 / Plan
Choose Your Stops.
Set route preferences, review the suggested order, then open your route in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
- 03 / Check
Look Closer.
Check a bottle in Price Check and read a store update or sighting with its source and time. Confirm stock and hours before you travel.
- 04 / Keep
Save What Matters.
Add a find to Cellar, keep a private store note, or follow a store for updates you choose.
Read The Source, Then The Time.
Retailer-published inventory and announcements come from participating stores. Community sightings and scores come from shoppers and can disagree with current stock. Your private notes are yours, not store reports. Stock confirmations expire after 72 hours; an older listing can remain visible as availability unknown without its old quantity or product link.
