SEATTLE, Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Distiller, the world's first free whiskey companion, recommendation and discovery engine, today announced an integration with Drizly, the technology company powering fast, convenient alcohol delivery. Distiller becomes the first company to integrate Drizly's newly opened API, allowing Distiller users across Drizly's growing markets to purchase whiskey directly via the app and have it delivered. The company also announced that Distiller's expansive whiskey reviews and ratings will now appear across all Drizly platforms.

With this new partnership, not only can users of both Distiller and Drizly discover new whiskey to try, they can purchase and have it to their door within an hour (in Drizly markets only) all from one app or website.

"We're excited about the integration with a market leader like Drizly. It closes the loop for our users who not only want a great recommendation for their next bottle of whiskey, but an easy way to purchase and even have that bottle delivered from one app," said Mikael Mossberg, CEO and co-founder of Distiller.

"The Drizly API helps publishers like Distiller monetize their traffic through an unprecedented opportunity to plug into a responsible, compliant e-commerce infrastructure that is the nation's largest and growing," said Nick Rellas, CEO and Co-Founder of Drizly. "Additionally, by integrating Distiller's reviews and ratings within Drizly, we're taking that next important step in delivering a superior shopping experience. Through this partnership, Drizly users are able to learn more about whiskey while they browse and make more informed purchasing decisions."

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. Additionally, with the integration of Drizly, users can now purchase available whiskeys and have them delivered to their door.
