What is a Whiskey Decanter?

A decanter is simply a container that is commonly used to hold whiskey, bourbon, scotch, wine or other liquids and makes a great centerpiece to your home or office bar. They come in various shapes, sizes and designs and are usually made from crystal or glass. Most decanters are made to hold one standard bottle of whiskey, bourbon or wine. 

How Long Does Liquor Last in a Decanter?

It depends on the type of liquor you plan to store in your decanter. Liquor will last as long in your decanter as they do in the container they were purchased in as long as your decanter has an airtight seal. For example; whiskey, bourbon, scotch and brandy can last for a number of years in a good decanter, but wine will only last a few days. 

If you have a decanter with a loose stopper, don’t worry, it will still keep your hard liquor for months because alcohol is slow to evaporate. 

What is the Best Decanter for Whiskey?

Whiskey decanters come in all shapes, sizes and designs. Whiskey doesn’t change much once exposed to oxygen and oxidizes at a much slower rate than wine. You can literally store whiskey in a bottle for decades and it doesn’t change because it’s a finished product once bottled. A whiskey decanter is a great storage vessel because the slight exposure to air doesn’t affect your whiskey at all. 

Is Whiskey Better in a Decanter?

Pouring whiskey from a decanter not only looks cool, but they make your space look classier. You won’t get many benefits to the whiskey itself as decanting whiskey doesn’t add to the aging process. A nice decanter cleans up a countertop or office table and looks far better than a few whiskey bottles lying around. 

Are Old Whiskey Decanters Worth Anything?

It’s possible. There have been thousands of various antique whiskey decanter designs that have survived over the years. Your best bet is to take your old whiskey decanters to an antique dealer to check the value. You may have some worth good money.
