What is a Spirits Chiller?

A Spirits Chiller is designed to provide a chilled temperature to whiskey, bourbon, tequila, or other spirits without diluting the drink. Unlike ice, which melts and adds water, a Spirits Chiller helps keep the glass cool, so the flavor of the spirit remains balanced and undiluted. Chilling high-proof spirits can temper the burn on the palate and throat, resulting in a smoother drinking experience.

How do you keep whiskey cold without watering it down?

One of the best ways to keep whiskey cold without watering it down is to chill the glass rather than adding ice directly to the drink.

Should whiskey be chilled before drinking?

Whiskey is often enjoyed at slightly cool room temperature so its aromas and flavors can fully develop. Some drinkers prefer their whiskey to be slightly chilled, especially in warm environments. VoChill believes drink temperature is subjective the drinkers preference. There are no hard rules for enjoyment and each person should find their own preferred drinking temperature. With a VoChill Spirits Chiller, the temperature can be controlled to the drinker’s preference. Leaving the glass in the chiller will continue to lower the temperature of the pour. If the temperature becomes too cold, then simply remove the glass from the chiller and cradle the glass in your palm to warm the pour.
