This is absolutely the perfect gift set for the whiskey lovers.Packaged in an exquisite gift box, our kit is a thoughtful present for anyone who enjoys a good drink. This kit includes 4 wood chips along with a whiskey smoker. We can really have the smoke aroma in the drink and can experience a different taste.
It doesn’t provide any instructions to use, hence gave 4 stars.
Love coctails with smoky taste and was happy to find such interesting kit. Never saw before anything similar. First of all box looks great as a gift. There are 4 different wood chips, small beech wood chimney, brush for cleaning and elegant little shovel. Everything look so nice. So the bad thing it doesn’t have any instruction, but I found some in youtube. Overall it is really great to try, specially when you have some party at home. The wood chips smell quite strong, but very nice. All have different aroma. I think price is great and I want to buy one more for a gift to my friend as a birthday present. Highly recommend it.
Nice little starter kit, you get the smoker and 4 little sample pots of wood chips. Thr smoker is a good size to fit in most glasses and it comes with a wire brush to clean out the burner afterwards. You do need one of the blow torch lighters, much quicker than a regular lighter (and you dont burn your fingers!). Even if you are not keen on whiskey, you can use this to smoke cheese (tried with cubes in a large glass and it worked. Each wood chip has their own flavour- walnut was my preferred one. The kit is well made and presented nicely in a gift box…does have a thank you postcard inside so you may want to remove.
This is a lovely little whisky drinker gift set.
It is nicely designed and packaged in its own box so would be ideal as a present.
It’s nice quality and value for money.
There are no instructions but easy to use .
This product is very well presented in its box and looks expensive and of a high quality.
The negative – ish bit
My first problem was finding a glass within our drinks glass cupboard that this would fit into. As it happened, amongst a dozen or so glasses, some of which are crystal whisky tumblers, only one would fit, so check yours, the dimensions are given on the listing page.
The next issue was exactly how to use it. Yes you do need a flame source, and we simply used our kitchen blow torch which is used for creme brulee etc, and this works a treat.
You should maintain your attention whilst setting the wood chips alight, as if you allow the flame to stray, it will singe the attractive beech wood holder.
Then you have to decide how long to leave the smoke on whatever you are ‘smoking’. There are no instructions, and the listing page simply says to ‘wait a few seconds until the glass fills with smoke and then remove’. For this you really do not want to add too many wood chips as these will keep burning – and smoking – which is fine if you have a few more drinks to ‘smoke’, but becomes a bit of a problem as we ended up taking it outdoors until the wood had fully burnt out, meaning the smoke had stopped.
Quite how you use this product on cheese or meat I am unsure, again instructions would help here.
The positive bit
So, that all sound like a lot of negatives, which I guess they are, but I have to say, once you try the different woods on (in my case) a whisky, they really do make a difference to the flavour, and the aroma of the smoke is actually a very pleasant one. I am a casual woodturner and therefore will have a good source of wood chips at my disposal, but if you are able to get out and about, and notice some tree’s being felled, then as long as you check they are not of a resinous nature, this could provide you with a source for future use (provided you dry them first), although to get a good variety you may need to shop on line or in store.
As already said, it is attractively presented and the general quality is very good
I hope this helps in your decision making, I would consider buying this as a gift for a good friend who would enjoy such a product, and make use of it. I will certainly continue to experime
I chose this kit, as recently I tasted a ‘Smoked’ cocktail and was intrigued as to how this could be done. When I saw tis kit I HAD to get it!!
It is a lovely smoker kit that is beautifully presented in a box (should you choose to give it as a gift). It came with the four different, fragrant wood chips, a cute little shovel, small, stiff, wire brush to help with cleaning and the Beech wood chimney.
The wood chips don’t smell particularly strong in the tin, but once lit, the smell did get stronger and you could tell the difference between them.
It does not come with any instructions, but after watching several tutorial videos online, I just had a go.
I was lots of fun when the family came home for a get together and we used it to try and recreate the smoked cocktails.
Great value for money, as the kit comes with so much. It is worth the 21.
It’s a nice gift set for whiskey lovers.
Very well packed, four different types of wood chips and a whiskey smoker pot.
It’s missing the instructions how to use it.
We found how to use it by YouTube videos.
You set the strainer with the chips you want, burnt it with lid on, and the smokes will start coming out of the bottom, down to the whisk glass.
The smoking taste is great. Definitely a great experience for who loves drinking whisk.
What a great gift this is! All nicely packed in a substantial box, it has a good, quality feel to it. I’d be very happy giving or receiving this!
We’ve had smoked whisky in restaurants, with meals, before, so the chance to try it at home with a few friends couldn’t be passed up. The kit is beautifully presented, and the individual items such as the wooden shavings holder and the canisters, all feel well made and substantial.
And it really does work great! After the first try, we left the smoking device on the drink for anything up to a minute, as we’d been told to do at the restaurants we’d tried this at, to get that true smokey flavour.
I do wish that it had more of the wood shavings included, as we got through most of those included in a single dinner party, and now I really want to try it on cheese!
I should mention that there are two versions of this; one with the chef’s lighter and one without. If you already love your creme bruls, you probably have a kitchen torch, but if not, make sure you get the kit that has one included, as you need a proper blowtorches’ power to set the the shavings alight and start the smoking process.
But all in all this is a great gift, and a fab little activity to engage everyone in, at the and of a dinner party. Heartily recommended!
This is an interesting kit, it consists of a beech pot with a metal strainer type insert. The material to be burnt to provde the smoke is put in the strainer and set alight and the lid put on, the smoke comes out the bottom of the pot into the cocktail glass below.
All I have said above is how to use the kit but there are absolutely no instructions included with it which is very unhelpful. These should be provided instead of the thank you card.
The kit comes with four different types of wood chips and you can try others and dried herbs, dried rosemary works well.
To get the wood to burn you need a mini blowtorch or a specialist lighter, a normal lighter or matches do not work well.
