Common Questions
What whiskey is best for a smoker?
Aged whiskeys like bourbon or scotch work best because their complex flavors pair well with smoke. Rye whiskey is also a great choice if you prefer a spicier kick.
What kind of wood do you use for a whiskey smoker?
Oak is a popular choice due to its traditional use in aging whiskey. Cherry and pecan are great alternatives for adding fruity or nutty flavors.
Can you smoke whiskey on the rocks?
Yes, smoking whiskey on the rocks enhances the drink by slowly releasing smoke as the ice melts, creating a balanced flavor.
Do you need a cloche to smoke cocktails?
A smoking cloche isn't required, but it helps trap the smoke and concentrate the flavor. Whiskey smokers with lids work just as well.
Do smoked cocktails taste better?
Smoked cocktails add depth and complexity, making the flavors more robust and layered. If you enjoy bold drinks, smoking definitely enhances the experience. Some fruity drinks, though, might be better enjoyed without smoke.
