10 Best Whiskey Decanters (Review) In 2020

Whiskey decanters are about aesthetics; there’s no practical benefit to putting your whiskey into a decanter. It’s about elegance, style, and sophistication, and this globe-shaped decanter has all three in spades.

The travel-inspired design of this 850ml globe decanter is perfect for world travelers. The etched glass, with a detailed map of the world, is ideal for inspiring your next adventure. This design is repeated on the 300ml glass tumblers, giving the whole set a cohesive style.

If you’re looking for a more traditional whiskey decanter set, the KANARS Whiskey Decanter And Glass Set is perfect. It resembles the whiskey decanters you’ve seen in the movies. Pour your guest a glass of whiskey from this decanter, and they’ll think you’ve transformed into a wall-street hotshot or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

You can pay thousands for a crystal whiskey decanter set, but this KANARS set costs around 50 bucks; this decanter set is a lead-free glass designed to look like crystal, saving you a ton of money, but it’s still visually impressive. Only an expert would be able to tell them apart.

We were hesitant when we first came across this whiskey decanter and glass set from Paksh. It seemed too cheap for a glass whiskey decanter and six whiskey glasses. But when we read the customer reviews on Amazon, we decided to make it our Best Value product. It has over 1600 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 out of 5.

In the product description, it says the word ‘novelty,’ conjuring up the idea this product is a toy or a stage prop, but it’s not. This set might not be lead-based crystal glass, but it will still look amazing on top of your drink cabinet.

If you liked the Godinger Decanter set we featured, you’re sure to like The Wine Savant set. From a glance, they look almost identical and about the same price. So, how do you pick between the two? If you look closely, you can see the differences.

The wooden stand is darker, stained to look like mahogany, and this decanter has a glass stopper instead of the golden stopper we saw on the Godinger decanter. But The Wine Savant decanter set stands apart with the nine included whiskey stones.

Whiskey decanters can be the perfect personalized gift for whiskey lovers. You can customize the 23.75 Oz Bormioli Rocco Capitol Decanter with engraving a name or initials. Whether it’s an anniversary with a loved one, graduation gift, or a milestone birthday, there’s no better gift than something unique. You can choose from three different emblem design options – one letter, two letters, or one letter and surname.

This decanter has roots in Italy. It comes from the Bormioli Rocco Group—the first glassworks in Parma, Italy. Established in 1825, this company has modern industrial techniques and a tradition of fine craftsmanship and master glassmakers.

When we choose the Premium Pick for product reviews, we’re looking for the product we’d buy if we didn’t have a limit to our budget. The Jillmo Whiskey Decanter Set is our Premium Pick, but it’s not the most expensive on this list. Perfect for a gift that won’t break the bank and worth considering if you’re looking for a stylish gift.

Inside the decanter sits a familiar hand-blown glass ship, sharing the same design inspiration as the Godinger and The Wine Savant decanters. But this decanter is a sizeable 1250ml glass shaped barrel and sits on top of a wooden frame.

With a name like Regal Trunk & Co., the company sounds like they’ve been around since the 19th Century, but it’s a pretty new company. However, their whiskey decanter and tumblers have a timeless look that oozes class.

The set includes a 30-ounce decanter with a crystal-style topper and four 10-ounce tumblers. They have a design that resembles a colorless tartan. It’s packaged in an impressive box with a beautiful gold pattern, and the Regal Trunk & Co. logo in the middle. Inside the masterpiece, cushioned packaging protects the glassware from damage.

The WEEBNG Whiskey Decanter Set is the last globe-style decanter on this list. In terms of added perks, the WEEBNG Whiskey Decanter Set is the best. You receive a pouring spout and a box of cleaning beads to make cleaning your new decanter easy. It comes with a set of four stainless-steel reusable ice cubes with a stainless-steel tongue. These are similar to the soapstone whiskey cubes that you get free with The Wine Savant.

The decanter and glasses are similar to the other products we’ve featured—a map of the world etched into the glass, there’s a hand-blown glass ship in the middle of the decanter, and a glass stopper. The only difference is that the wooden stand is stained much darker in this set.

Like the Paksh decanter set we featured earlier, this is a budget item, the cheapest on our features list. It doesn’t come with any of the add-ons, it is not high-quality glass, and it doesn’t have any crystal-style diamond detailing. So, why would you buy it?

Despite the things we mentioned, the Paksh Capitol Glass Decanter looks impressive for under $20. Your whiskey will look better in this decanter than it would in the original bottle. Made from Italian-crafted glass, it has a capacity of 23.75 Oz (around 700 millimeters), meaning it can hold most bottles of whiskey.

The MINGYALL Transparent Creative Whiskey Decanter Set has a unique design. Inspired by the Star Wars film franchise, both the decanter and glasses are shaped to look like the stormtrooper helmet. For Star Wars fans, there is no end to the merchandise you can get. It’s not official Star Wars merchandise, but even an expert would admit that the design is damn-near perfect.

At 680ml, the whiskey decanter is small. But we don’t think you’ll care much when you see how cool this decanter looks. It comes with a rubber stopper to keep the decanter airtight. The inside of the box has a quote from The Empire Strikes Back, and a space-themed design wraps the exterior. MINGYALL went the extra mile for Star Wars fanatics who enjoy whiskey and an old classic film.
