Who it’s for
A whiskey lover who enjoys experimenting, a dad who hosts, or groomsmen who appreciate making a drink together. If they prefer their drinks unsmoked, choose something that fits their taste.
Make it personal
Pair the kit with a bottle they would choose themselves, a suitable rocks glass and compatible butane. Those extras are separate purchases; the $64.99 price covers the kit. Add a handwritten suggestion: “Old Fashioned, Oak, 15 seconds.”
Check Amazon’s delivery estimate before choosing it for a particular occasion.
Choose your wood
These pairings are starting points, not rules. Start with a short exposure and adjust to taste.
| Wood | Character | Try it with |
|---|---|---|
| Oak | Balanced | Old Fashioned |
| Cherry | Soft | Manhattan |
| Apple | Light | Rye cocktails |
| Maple | Gentle | Maple Old Fashioned |
| Hickory | Bold | Bourbon, briefly |
| Mesquite | Intense | Small doses |
Use with care
Adults only. Read the supplied instructions. Use a level, heat-resistant surface in a well-ventilated area, away from children, pets and flammable materials. Keep the flame directed at the chips, never at alcohol or glass. Never leave a flame unattended. Let the steel screen cool fully before touching or cleaning it.
Questions, answered
Can I order the kit now?

Does it include butane or alcohol?
No. The refillable gold torch ships empty; suitable butane is sold separately. No alcohol is included.
Which glasses does it fit?
The smoker top is 3.5 inches (8.89 cm) in diameter. Check that it rests flat and stable on your heat-resistant glass before lighting; contact support if you need help checking the fit.
How long should I smoke a drink?
Start at about 10 seconds and taste. A short 10–30-second exposure is enough for most drinks; wood choice and personal preference affect the result.

The case arrives in a matte black gift box with the Parlor Ember mark in gold foil. Butane is not included.
