How to Smoke Whiskey Like a Pro (Even if You're a Beginner)

If you're a whiskey lover looking to level up your sipping game, there's one trend you need to try: smoked whiskey. Adding a smoky twist to your favorite bourbon or rye unlocks rich, complex flavors — and you don’t need a fancy bar setup to do it. With the right tools, you can create bar-worthy smoked cocktails right in your kitchen.

That’s where our Whiskey Smoker Kit comes in.

What Is a Whiskey Smoker Kit?

A whiskey smoker kit is a simple but powerful tool that lets you infuse your drink with natural smoke from wood chips like oak, cherry, or hickory. It usually includes a smoking top (or dome), a torch, wood chips, and sometimes extras like whiskey stones or a recipe card. It’s perfect for fans of old fashioneds, manhattans, or anyone who enjoys sipping whiskey with a smoky finish.

Why Smoke Your Whiskey?

Smoking whiskey isn’t just for show — it actually enhances the drinking experience. The aroma from the smoke activates your senses before you even take a sip, adding layers of flavor and aroma that you won’t get from a neat pour.

Smoked cocktails:

• Smell richer and more inviting

• Highlight different notes in the whiskey (like caramel, vanilla, or spice)

• Turn any drink into an experience

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just winding down after a long day, it’s the easiest way to impress yourself — or your guests.
