The independent website, called , has been created by Jean-Luc Thiébaut, a web developer and whiskey enthusiast.
Connosr offers members a Google Map of where each whisky comes from, whisky-related event listings and discussion boards.
Members with iPhones can access a mobile version of the site, allowing them to pick whiskies and post reviews while at the bar, providing they're still sober enough to do so.
They can also create a wish list of whiskys they would like to own, and share with other users what they have at home through 'My Cabinet'.
Thiebaut has created the site using the , based on an affiliate marketing model involving partnerships with other sites.
However, he said that the website is still developing its business model, and as such he has recently employed a marketing and commercial director in addition to a creative and social media strategist to help him develop a commercial strategy.
He said: "Connosr is a buzzing social space for a new generation of web-savvy whisky enthusiasts - an antidote to the stuffy image of whisky being an old man's drink."
