The woods
A gentle fruitwood smoke to finish bourbon or a stirred whiskey cocktail. Smoked Cherry is an inviting place to begin.

Start with a Manhattan
Rye, sweet vermouth and a cocktail cherry give you a familiar setting for this wood. Smoke the prepared drink briefly in a stable rocks glass, then pour it into a chilled coupe.
Pair Cherry with
- A Manhattan with rye and sweet vermouth.
- Bourbon over a large cube of ice.
- A Rob Roy made with blended Scotch.
Find the finish you like
Use a small pinch for the first glass. On your next pour, keep the drink the same and adjust the infusion time. A brief comparison helps you find the balance between the whiskey’s aroma and the wood smoke.
Ready in your kit
Smoked Cherry is 1 of the 6 included woods. Spread the chips loosely across the screen, light them with the butane torch and remove the flame once they smoulder. Close the tin after use and store it dry.
