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.
Engraving is available on select glassware. If engraving is available for a particular glass, you’ll see the engraving option on that product page.
Because our engraving machine needs to securely hold the glass during the engraving process, not all glassware is compatible with engraving.
Most premium barware is designed to be hand-washed rather than run through the dishwasher, unless a specific product is noted as dishwasher-safe. Hand-washing with mild soap and a soft cloth helps preserve the finish, prevent scratching, and keep pieces looking their best over time. We recommend drying items promptly after washing rather than air-drying, especially for copper and polished metal pieces, to avoid water spots or tarnishing. If a product is dishwasher-safe, it will be noted in the product description. When in doubt, hand-washing is always the safer choice.
