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 experiment

It's such a nice gift for the mixologist lovers. The only thing that annoys me ( personal opinion) is that the cocktail smoker is not balanced on the glass. We used a standard whiskey glass, but the smoker seems to be a bit big. Otherwise, it's a lovely kit to make your own drinks an experience.

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 brulés, 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!

The set is good, I like the wooden burner than sits inside the glass with the metal strainer. Whiskey is my preferred drink but I’d never tried smoked so I was very keen to try it. Well I tried it a few times and I have to say I don’t get in with it, it’s quite fun doing it but no matter how hard I try it does t look like the witches cauldron like I imagined it to be looking at the demo videos. It could do with some proper instructions with advice, I watched the Amazon product page video and it showed how to do it in a quick way but I always end up with more smoke in the kitchen than I do in the glass. It does fall downward but most of it goes up. The best I did it was the one in the pictures above. Sadly it turns out I don’t like smoke in my whiskey, to me it tastes like I’m drinking it standing too close to a bonfire and I get a burning smell rather than a smoky whisky. I really like the set and I really want to like this and say to people “would you like your whisky smoked” but hey. In the box it’s a good gift for a whiskey drinker to try, it would make a good different present for parents or grandparents who have everything else and like their whiskey.

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.

Got this to add a little ‘something’ to my weekend posh drink time! This set is dead easy to use. You simply put the wooden smoker on top of your glass, choose your flavour of chip (out of a selection of 4), scoop it into the smoker with the little spade (cute!) and then burn it with a creme brûlée style burner gun. Then put the lid on and watch in amazement as your glass fills with smoke. Not only does this add a nice smokey taste to your drink, but it looks absolutely awesome! I surprised a friend with a drink full of smoke and it blew his mind! It just looks so cool! I would recommend leaving the smoker on for around a minute to allow the smoke to collect and add the flavour to your drink. My favourite is the Oak chips. It’s worth noting that this set doesn’t come with the burner so if you’re going to get one as a gift for a friend, pick the pack that comes with the burner also. Overall, I’m really pleased with this smoker. It adds that special something to your drink and is amazing when you present someone with a smoked drink! Totally worth it and would make an amazing gift!

I got these as I am an avid whiskey drinker and cigar smoker. I have always liked the smokey flavours I have gotten from going to high end bars and decided to give this a try to see if I could do it myself. I have tried the cherry and walnut on two old fashion'ds and it improved the overall drinking experience and flavour of the drinks. The gift set is really nicely laid out in a presentation box. The lid piece is made of solid wood and is well finished. The metal craddle where you burn the different wood chips is well shaped. There is enough space to really get in there with a blow torch, plus it does protect the wood surrounding it nicely. The wood chip that is provided gives off a really good amount of smoke. However I did find that adding a little water to them gave them a better overall scent and smoke output. I also found that if you leave the smoke for around 30 seconds to a minute, you do get a much more intense smokey flavour on the drink compared to the few seconds they recommended. If you are looking for a gift for a whiskey lover or just looking to take your drinks to the next level, I can highly recommend this set!

This product came nicely packaged with a nice Thank you card. The one important thing missing was any instructions (I have never used one before) and as there is nothing in the kit to suggest who makes the product if you were giving as a gift the recipient would only be able to google generic instructions as opposed to product specific. Luckily I was not gifting it so could look them up on here. The first thing you need (not included unless stated in the more expensive version is a small blow torch or specialist lighter). Luckily I had one. After working out how to use it we tried smoking several different drinks with the different wood chips and found it fun but the smoke was short lived and once the novelty factor wore off it lost its appeal. It did work particularly with Whisky & an Old Fashioned cocktail though and added a nice flavour. I just found overall it the product added a nice smell but didn't really enhance the flavour. We also managed to scorch the wood pretty easily. At the time of ordering this product was priced at £20.98 which I think is reasonably priced but instructions or at least a web address to look them up would really help

Offert pour les fêtes, à fait son petit effet ! Coffret très joli, complet, avec sa petite pelle. Bonne matiere, vraiment pas déçu !

Ware kam schnell und gut verpackt an. Für Whiskey Trinker ein schönes Gadget. Kleiner Tipp: Beim ersten Versuch zuerst einmal im Freien testen. Nicht jeder mag den Rauchgeruch in der Wohnung. Das Set wurde verschenkt und kam sehr gut an. Würde ich auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen.

Preso per curiosità e devo dire che sono rimasto soddisfatto. Carino anche come si presenta l'articolo

Ottimo
