Connosr Ranks All Things Whiskey [Drinks]

We've pointed to Steepster as a social network for tea snobs, and Snooth for wine-lovers. Both posts were filled with cries for similar service for whiskey fans, so we're back with Connosr. Trust us, it's all about whiskey.

Connosr lets users catalog, review, and rate whiskeys you own and have tried. You can share those reviews with friends and check out what they've been drinking, then add their favored spirits to your wish list for future sampling.

The site has extras that make tracking and reviewing whiskey even more enjoyable (if that's possible), like maps of distilleries, calendars of events detailing things like tours, tasting events, and whiskey-centric gatherings, and the ability to browse whiskey reviews via a tag cloud. Looking for a peaty taste with smokey overtones? There's a spot in the tag cloud and a whiskey to fit your request.

Connosr is a free site, but requires a login for anything beyond searching and reading reviews.
