This 4x4-inch handmade white oak topper also includes a baggie of bourbon barrel smoking chips for your smoky pleasure. Overall, these smoke-infused spirits are sure to impress even the most discerning cocktail enthusiast. The process is entertaining and easy to master, even if you’re not rocking a handlebar moustache.
Directions:
1. Load a small amount of chips into the top of the chimney, just enough to cover the screen.
2. Place the wooden smoke top with chimney on top of the glass or cocktail of your choosing.
3. Hold the torch lighter 5-inches from the top of the chimney and direct the flame down through it. (We suggest a quad jet butane torch lighter to maximize result performance).
4. Slowly lower the torch to 2-3 inches from the top. (We used the finest brass screen to ensure the flame doesn't push the chips or ash out of the chimney into your cocktail*).
5. After desired smokiness is achieved, remove and enjoy! (I usually like to let my old fashion sit for a few minutes to really absorb the smokey aroma and flavor).
*Be sure to discard the burnt wood chips into a non-flammable container
Over time the screen will deteriorate. Simply push a pen or pencil through the bottom of the chimney to pop out the old screen. Then, wipe out the chimney, clean off the screen, and push the screen firmly back into the chimney until seated.
Your purchase includes one infuser top with brass fitting and a free small bag of smoked chips.
*Please note that each infuser base may be a little different, as these are all unique pieces of wood.
