Decanter
每一个伟大的酒吧值得一个漂亮的玻璃水瓶和回家摇滚眼镜, and this Viski three-piece set is the ideal gift. Lead-free crystal is key for a good decanter, as well as a proper seal to keep the contents from oxidizing. Whiskey doesn't need to breathe the same way wine does, so be sure to only add the amount you intend to drink within a day to the decanter. Think of the tool as a means of serving, not storage.
