Smoking Wood Tin
from $4.00

Hickory: Strong and smoky. Hickory gives a bold, savory flavor that pairs well with bourbon and other dark spirits.

Cherry: Smooth with a hint of sweetness. Cherry wood adds a light fruit note that softens the edges of whiskey and rye.

Apple: Clean and crisp. Apple wood delivers a gentle smoke with a touch of sweetness, great for lighter cocktails or tequila.

Oak: Balanced and earthy. Oak brings a medium smoke with the familiar character of barrel aging, making it a versatile choice for any spirit.

Maple: Mellow and warm. Maple has a softer smoke with subtle caramel notes that fit perfectly with rye, bourbon, or dessert-style drinks.

Pecan: Nutty and rounded. Pecan offers a mild sweetness with a rich finish, ideal for experimenting with fuller cocktails..

Mesquite: Intense and earthy. Mesquite has a strong smoke with a slightly sweet edge, best for bold drinks where you want the smoke to stand out.

Plum: Light and fragrant. Plum wood brings a gentle fruit sweetness that adds a soft finish to whiskey or rum cocktails.

Bourbon-Soaked Oak: Rich and layered. Oak that’s been soaked in bourbon gives off a deep, mellow smoke with hints of vanilla and char, echoing the barrel-aging process.

Walnut: Deep and nutty. Walnut creates a heavier smoke with a touch of bitterness, perfect for darker spirits and complex cocktails.
