As part of our Celebrating Success series, we are delighted to highlight the achievements of BLCC member Bostocap and the launch of their innovative new mobile platform, Barlist.
A New Way to Discover Spirits
Developed by Bostocap, Barlist is a newly launched mobile app designed to reshape how consumers and bartenders discover and experience spirits. The platform brings together tens of thousands of bottles from more than 7,700 distilleries and features around 500 renowned bars, creating a truly global resource for the spirits community.
More than simply a database, Barlist is built around curiosity, community, and culture. Through curated articles, in-depth stories, and expert insights, the app invites users to explore the craftsmanship behind each bottle. From production methods and terroirs to cocktail culture and distillery heritage, Barlist provides a deeper appreciation of the people, traditions, and creativity that shape the world of spirits.
A Platform for the Industry
Since its launch, Barlist has already begun to make an impact across the international spirits community. The platform connects bartenders, mixologists, and distilleries, providing a space where professionals can share expertise, tell their stories, and engage with a global audience.
By highlighting bartenders as creators and educators, Barlist also helps elevate the profession and shine a spotlight on the creativity and knowledge that drive the industry forward.
“Our aim is to bring people together through a shared passion for spirits – bridging the digital and the real, raising quality standards, and championing craft distilleries by giving them a stronger voice.” – Chris Lancksweert, CEO of Bostocap & Co-founder of Barlist
Looking Ahead
Following a successful launch, Barlist continues to evolve. Planned developments include an integrated marketplace, new educational pathways, community rewards, and expanded partnerships.
Together, these initiatives mark an exciting new chapter for a platform designed to connect, inspire, and support the growth of the global spirits community.
The BLCC congratulates Bostocap on this impressive achievement and looks forward to seeing how Barlist continues to develop and bring the spirits world closer together.
