Editor's Notes
September 16, 2020:
Though initially used to store wine without picking up the sediment left over in the bottle, decanters look so good that they're often used to store all kinds of liquor, including whiskey, just for presentation's sake. If you enjoy drinking hard liquor and serving it in social situations, buying a whiskey decanter is sure to add elegance to your hosting game. For those who prefer vino, we recommend checking out the best wine decanters, which are more specialized than the items featured on this list.
The Nou Living Royale is sure to satisfy picky drinkers, as it includes four metal chilling spheres that keep beverages cool without watering them down. Those prioritizing quantity should take a look at the Paksh Novelty 7-Piece, which features six glasses, and more can be purchased in additional sets for particularly large events.
If, on the other hand, your tastes tend towards simple items, you may enjoy the Paksh Capitol, a high-quality standalone decanter of unpatterned glass.
For an especially eye-catching model, check out the Godinger Globe, with a spherical container and glasses illustrated with a map of the world.
