This 2018, whiskey, scotch, and bourbon fans can lift their spirits with these innovative ways to elevate the way you drink the dark liquor. From serving accessories like high-tech ice makers to bar tools to infusion kits, these luxe products are sure to help add some flavor to your whiskey ritual. Plus, see which scotch Anthony Bourdain is talking up lately.

 

1. Froz Ice Ball Maker

This food grade ice maker makes cool-looking smooth ice spheres. Since they minimize surface area relative to volume, the ice spheres melt slower than traditional ice cubes, making them a natural fit for a sipping Scotch or Bourbon on the rocks.

2. Quiseen Beverage Chilling Stones

While the name “chilling stones,” conjures up some funny mental pictures, these flavor-saving stones are no joke. They’ll keep your whiskey cool without ever watering it down.

 

3. Suns Tea Manhattan-style Whiskey Glasses

These Manhattan-style old fashioned whiskey glasses are double-walled for that satisfying weight and solid “clinking” sound along with boasting excellent thermal properties.

 

4. Bootleg Botanicals DIY Infusion Kit

5. Golden Oak Barrel

This golden oak barrel lets you age your own spirits to perfection. Hand-built by real master coopers, these barrels are designed for lifetime use and are guaranteed against leaks. A stand and a recipe guide are included in the set.

 

6. Balvenie Doublewood 12-year Scotch

The Balvenie Doublewood 12-year aged Scotch is a unique luxury scotch that comes with a recommendation from none other than prolific chef Anthony Bourdain of “Parts Unknown.” Fittingly as the name implies, this scotch is aged in two different barrels, American Oak bourbon barrels and Spanish Oak Sherry Casks, giving it a rich, layered flavor befitting its trans-Atlantic dual nature.

7. Prestige Decanters Etched Globe Decanter

Handcrafted by master glass blowers, this gorgeous etched globe decanter is one of the most picturesque ways to store 1000 ML of liquid. Naturally, it offers a great place to store some spirits, and it features a long-lasting ground glass stopper.
