Cocktail Smoker Kit with Torch – 6 Flavors Wood Chips – Bourbon, Whiskey Smoker Infuser Kit, Old Fashioned Drink Smoker Kit, Birthday Bourbon Whiskey Gifts for Men, Dad, Husband (Without Butane)

Why it's worth it

A handheld smoker, a torch, and six wood chip flavors that let anyone lay cherry or hickory smoke over a bourbon cocktail in about a minute. This is the gift that comes back out the same night it's opened, usually twice.

This is the whiskey gift people currently want. Smoked old fashioned videos have piled up more than two billion views across TikTok and Instagram, and the old fashioned is the most-searched whiskey cocktail on the Distiller app. Your recipient has almost certainly watched someone do this. Handing them the kit that does it is an easy win, even if they've never built a cocktail on purpose.

The process is genuinely simple. Load a pinch of chips into the top, hit them with the torch, set it over the glass, and swirl for a few seconds. Nothing gets measured and very little can go wrong. That's why it suits a beginner — the smoke does the impressive part, and your recipient gets all the credit for it.

What to know

• –The torch ships empty
