Which whisky accessories should you start with as a beginner?

Start with a good tasting glass and something to add water with, such as a pipette or a small water jug. That way you can taste straight away what a few drops of water do to a whisky. If you like your whisky a little cooler, an ice mould for large ice spheres or a set of whisky stones is a logical next step. Coasters, a decanter or a glass holder come into their own when you often have guests.

Which accessories do you need for a whisky tasting at home?

For a tasting at home you need a separate glass for each whisky, water to add and a way to keep track of the order. A glass holder with four to six places keeps the line-up clear, Glencairn tasting caps keep the aromas in the glass and a pipette lets you dose the water. The Flight Board from 33 Books with record cards helps you note down your impressions of each whisky.

What is a whisky smoker and how do you use it?

A whisky smoker is a top piece that lets smoke from wood chips infuse your glass or cocktail. You place the smoker on the glass, light a small amount of chips with a lighter or torch and let the smoke linger briefly in the glass. Start with a few seconds, as smoke quickly takes over. Craftly offers sets with different types of wood and botanicals.

Which whisky accessory makes a good gift for someone who has everything?

Choose something the recipient rarely buys for themselves: an engraved set of coasters or whisky stones with a personal motif, a handmade Oak Cup in a wooden box or an Outdoor Set with flask and glasses. For the true experimenter, a mini whisky cask or the Porthole Decanter made of charred American oak is a surprising gift, because it lets them give their whisky a finish of their own.

What does a mini whisky cask do to your whisky?

A mini whisky cask gives whisky extra oak notes such as vanilla, caramel and spice in a short time. Because a small 3-litre cask has a lot of wood surface relative to its contents, this happens much faster than in a large cask. Fill the cask with water before first use so the wood swells and seals, then taste regularly, as leaving it too long gives an overpowering woody taste.
