Bourbon Smoker

[bmac]

Probably the last item of the year, a Christmas gift for Daughters friend. He enjoys having a smoked bourbon with me when he visits, so I decided to make him one. The wood is Cherry with a buffed out sanding paste finish. I also made a storage box to hold it and the wood chips in. The screens for the wood chips can be found on Etsy, https://www.etsy.com/listing/1323385946/cocktail-smoker-dome-replacement-screen. The tin containers I found at Hobby Lobby and they can be found on Amazon.

Smoked bourbon? How do you get it lit?

Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated. Chipper, for us Bourbon drinkers, we pour a shot of the Bourbon of choice in a glass, with or without ice, place the smoker over the top of the glass.
The tin containers hold wood chips, in this one, Oak, Pecan, Cherry, and Maple. Put some of the chips of your choice in the strainer and light
using a torch lighter. Once the chips are lit and burning good, place the cap on the smoker, smoke filters down into the glass from the holes and is infused into the Bourbon. After a few minutes, remove smoker, give the glass a little swirl and enjoy. It adds a unique woodsy flavor to the Bourbon.
I'm pretty sure someone in the cocktail business came up with the idea, tried it, liked the flavor it added to the drink and figured they could double the price they could charge for a drink.
