Decanter Gift Sets

What does a decanter do?

To some, a decanter might sound like the domain of a bartender, sommelier or wine/spirit snob… but this couldn’t be further from the truth! It’s true that a decanter is an exceptionally elegant way to serve wine and spirits from your home bar, but there are actually quite a few benefits to storing beverages in a decanter.

You might have heard the experienced wine-sipper in your life say to “let it breathe” before taking a drink. It might sound odd but the logic is sound — the wine needs to interact with oxygen for a few minutes (at least) so that the tannins mellow out and the flavours and aromas of the wine become more obvious.

This is exactly what a decanter does. As your wine sits in the decanter, it breathes and releases delicious flavours! This is especially important for those old vintages that have been cooped up in a barrel for decades.

The same can be said for whiskey. Pouring whiskey into a decanter will allow the spirits to interact with oxygen and make it easier for those intense flavours and aromas to emerge — very important if that first snifter of scotch or whiskey stings the nostrils! Plus, spirits sit much easier in a decanter than wine, so after a while, you’ll be sipping smooth, delectable brown spirits without the unpleasant burn.

The perfect time to gift a personalised decanter

A personalised decanter is an ideal gift for the wine or spirit lover in your life. A decanter will not only make their drinks taste better but decanters are fast overtaking the traditional coffee table book — they’re a real talking point for guests while also adding to the overall decor of the living room!

With their enduring style and elegant look, personalised decanters are the perfect gift for almost any occasion.

• Milestone birthdays — Everyone loves a good old fashioned pun which is why we offer “Aged to Perfection” and “Aged with Distinction” decanter sets for those milestone birthdays. Matched with the birthday boy or girl’s favourite drop, a personalised decanter is bound to make their birthday all the more memorable.
• Bucks nights — Named a Best Man? Thank them for putting in the hard yards and organising your bucks night with a “Best Man” decanter set. You can “cheers” your Best Man with an aired wine or whiskey before the bucks night to end all bucks nights.
• Weddings — If you’re planning a wedding, you’re probably also planning the Couples Gift Exchange. It’s an age-old tradition where the couple exchanges gifts the night before the wedding or after the ceremony is complete. With two glasses in the set, you and your partner can celebrate your nuptials with the clink of a glass and a sip of your favourite beverage.
• Secret Santa — Shopping for Secret Santa is always a struggle but a personalised decanter is sure to thrill the receiver! Add their name and initials to the decanter, or add a custom design and be crowned the King/Queen of Secret Santa in your family or workplace.
• Christening a brand new man-cave — A freshly finished man-cave is certainly a cause for celebration. A personalised decanter will serve the owner well in their new man-cave!

“My customised order arrived on Christmas Eve! Only two days after I placed it! It was a last-minute replacement gift when something else from a different website was refunded saying it was unavailable. I was prepared to have to tell a sad story and tell them they had to wait for their gift but it arrived as if magically just before our Christmas Eve celebrations so I was able to give a Christmas gift after all! The recipient is over the moon thrilled with it and loves the personalised design on the front. Thank you guys so much! You saved Christmas!”
