What is a whisky decanter?
A whisky decanter is a decorative bottle that is usually closed with a glass cork. It is used for storing and serving whisky, although in this context it actually only serves visual purposes.
Whisky decanters were very popular in the 1940s. After having fallen out of fashion in the meantime, the noble containers for storing whisky have been enjoying increasing popularity again for some time.
Suitable whiskey decanter for every taste
If you decide to buy a whiskey decanter, you will quickly discover that you have a wide choice of very different models at your disposal. The offer ranges from inexpensive, simple whisky containers to noble crystal carafes with rich decorations. Apart from that, there are also various whisky carafes in unusual shapes.
If, for example, you decide on a model in the shape of a rifle or a whiskey decanter in the shape of a globe, you can be sure that your purchase will be a great eye-catcher that will certainly not remain hidden from your guests for long.
Of course, you can also buy a plain whisky decanter if you prefer. Just take a moment. We have no doubt that you will find a whiskey decanter that you like and that fits perfectly with your interior.
Why should you store whisky in a decanter?
First of all, it should be said at this point that storing whisky in a decanter does not have any advantages for the taste or the shelf life. Rather, the use of whisky containers is about presenting the noble drops in a visually appealing way.
After all, a high-quality whiskey decanter that stands on your table at the tasting simply looks better than the bottle in which the whisky was originally bottled for sale.
Disadvantages of a whiskey decanter
For storing and tasting whisky in style, a decanter is undoubtedly a great choice. However, its use can also have its disadvantages. When decanting from the bottle into the decanter, the whisky inevitably comes into contact with oxygen, which can impair its taste. This is especially true if the whiskey decanter does not close airtight and its contents are also exposed to oxygen during storage.
This does not mean that you should avoid using a whisky decanter. However, it is at least something you should keep in mind if you are interested in purchasing such a whisky container.
How long can whisky keep in the decanter?
As a rule, you can assume that your whisky will last about as long in the decanter as in its normal bottle. Most whiskies should not lose any of their flavour for six months after opening. Keep in mind, however, that this is not necessarily the case with every whisky and that there may therefore also be differences in terms of shelf life when stored in a decanter.
Regardless of this, you should of course make sure that the whiskey decanter closes properly and that it is in a cool place where it is ideally also protected from light. By taking these points into account, you will make a decisive contribution to ensuring that your fine whisky retains its unique aromas for as long as possible and that nothing stands in the way of optimum drinking enjoyment.
What do you have to look out for when buying a whisky decanter?
Considering the large selection of different whiskey decanter, it is sometimes not easy to find a suitable model. To ensure that the whisky carafe of your choice does its job optimally, it is important that you consider a few things when buying it.
In particular, the following points are important when purchasing a whiskey decanter:
- The size of the carafe
- The quality of the glass
- The tightness of the closure
- The design of the whisky carafe
How big should a whiskey decanter be?
As a rule, it is advisable to buy a whisky decanter that is large enough to hold the contents of a conventional whisky bottle from the shop. Most whisky decanters have a capacity of 750 millilitres or one litre. However, the shape and the associated space requirements can sometimes differ quite significantly from model to model. Depending on how much space you have available at your intended location, you should keep this in mind when buying your whisky carafe.
Why it pays to pay attention to the glass quality
When buying your new whisky decanter, you can choose from a wide range of different qualities. In addition to simple, machine-made whisky containers, there are also particularly high-quality crystal carafes in which a great deal of manual work has gone into the making. Even if you don't have to spend a fortune, you should still make sure that the glass used is of good quality. After all, you certainly want your carafe to impress not only with its appearance, but also with its long life.
Why does the closure of the whiskey decanter have to be completely tight?
Whisky decanter usually have a glass closure. It is important that this closes the carafe reliably, as otherwise air can penetrate. This inevitably leads to the taste of the whisky being impaired during storage in the carafe.
What design should the whiskey decanter have?
If you look around a little, you will quickly realise that whiskey decanters come in a wide variety of shapes and designs. Apart from the size and quality, you also have to consider which look you prefer. Would you prefer a classic whisky decanter or something a little more unusual? Experience has shown that it should not be a problem to find a whisky decanter that meets your expectations.
Especially practical: whiskey decanter with glasses
Apart from a carafe for storage, you will of course also need suitable glasses in which to enjoy your whisky. In this context, it is particularly practical to buy a whisky set consisting of a whiskey decanter with glasses.
In this way, you ensure that the design of the carafe and the glasses match perfectly and a uniform look is guaranteed. Of course, in the end it is entirely up to you whether you want to buy your whiskey decanter as a set or whether you prefer to buy the decanter and the glasses separately.
You may even already have a sufficiently large selection of nosing glasses and whisky tumblers. In this case, of course, it makes sense to buy only one whiskey decanter instead of a whole set of glasses.
Wine carafes are not an alternative for whisky
If you already own a wine carafe, you may be wondering whether you can use it for whisky as well. However, this is not a good idea. This is because a wine carafe is very different from a whisky decanter. While the latter is meant to keep the contents airtight, a wine carafe is explicitly about allowing the wine to breathe and thus develop its flavour. Since whisky must be protected from oxygen during storage, as already mentioned, we strongly advise you not to simply pour it into a wine carafe.
Caution when cleaning the whiskey decanter
Whisky decanter are generally not suitable for the dishwasher. To avoid damaging the shine of the glass, you should therefore limit the cleaning of your high-quality carafe to washing it by hand. If necessary, you can use a bottle brush and some mild washing-up liquid. Apart from that, there are also special cleaning balls that are not only suitable for wine carafes, but also for whisky decanter.
