Frequently asked questions

How long does whisky last in a decanter?

Whisky can last in your decanter for up to three years. Other aspects that may affect your whisky's shelf life are the temperature, humidity, and light exposure around your filled decanter.

How to clean a whisky decanter?

The best way to clean your whisky decanter is by hand-washing. When the decanter has been emptied, fill it with a mixture of warm water and liquid soap. You can also mix vinegar or baking soda with warm water, as this helps to loosen the whisky stains and smell. Let the mixture soak for between 30 minutes to an hour, before using a suitable brush, to lightly scrub the decanter's interior walls. Swirl and shake the decanter, and pour out the contents. Rinse with warm water until fully cleaned.

Is the whisky decanter diswasher safe?

We do not recommend leaving your decanter in the dishwasher for several reasons. The decanter may not be able to take the intensity of the dishwasher's cleaning process, and may tip over within the dishwasher, resulting in the glass chipping, cracking, or shattering.

How do I care and maintain my whisky tumblers?

To keep your whisky tumblers in good condition, rinse the glass with warm water. Avoid scratching, scrubbing, or wiping down marks or stains with your hands or cloth, as it may damage the glass. Instead, swirl the glass with soapy water, rinse, and leave the tumbler to air dry on a rack.

Avoid scrubbing or scouring the pewter components of your whisky tumbler. Do not use solvents when cleaning to prevent discolouration.
