NextCask keeps one page per limited whisky: the past editions, when each came out and at what price, the shops that list it, and whether they have it in stock.
Release dates and prices
Each edition comes from a distillery announcement, a press release, a trade news report or a shop listing, and the page links each one. An expected date is worked out from the past dates and marked as an estimate. Where the past dates are too few or too spread out, there is no estimate.
Shop stock
14 shops are read four times a day through their public product feeds: SipWhiskey, Remedy Liquor, CraftShack, HiProof, Dekanta, Dram Street, Whiskys.co.uk (Arkwrights), Top Whiskies, The Drink Shop, Drinkfinder, Milroy's of Soho, Whisky Galore, House of Malt and Dramtime. A shop is only read when its terms allow it and its robots.txt does not block the feed. Prices are the shop's own on the day shown. A shop can ask to be left out by writing to desk@nextcask.com.
Distilleries
Location, owner and founding year come from public reference data and the distillery's own pages. Each distillery page links its sources.
Pictures
A release page shows the bottle as a shop NextCask reads lists it, or as the brand shows it, with a link to that page. A distillery page shows the bottle of its latest release. Where there is none, the cask head is drawn in code for NextCask.
