Best Whiskey Decanters In 2021

Avatar
This product guide was written by GearHungry Staff
Published July 15, 2020

There are few things classier than a whiskey decanter. Whether you’re a hot-shot lawyer, the CEO, or you need a gift for a whiskey lover, look no further than a glass decanter. Old-style whiskey decanters are lead glass (or crystal), making them expensive and possibly detrimental for your health. We have researched affordable, lead-free glass whiskey decanters, so you can spend more money on the whiskey to fill it. Here are the best whiskey decanters we found on Amazon.

The Best Whiskey Decanter

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.

It’s all in the details, and the incredibly detailed antique ship is a showstopper. Hand-blown from glass, it sits in the middle of the globe, engulfed by the whiskey. A gold stopper keeps dust from contaminating your current whiskey of choice. The decanter set comes with a high-quality wooden stand, adding to the aesthetic, and is built to last.

This whiskey decanter set from Godinger has fantastic product reviews. The set has over 2000 customer reviews on Amazon and has a 4.8/5 rating, rare for a product like this and extremely impressive. If 2000 customers were happy with it, we’re willing to bank that you will be too.

KANARS Whiskey Decanter And Glass Set

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.

The 740ml decanter has diamond-like detailing that runs up the side of the glass. In the light, the design has the effect of making the whiskey shimmer, turning your drink cabinet into a visual centerpiece of a room. It includes an air-tight glass stopper and four 295ml tumblers with a similar design, all in a luxury gift box.

The matte-black design covered with gold detailing and the interior golden silk-like material makes you feel like you’re receiving a present from royalty. If you’re buying a whiskey decanter set as a gift, you should consider the KANARS Whiskey Decanter and Glass Set. We guarantee whoever receives it will be over the moon.

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.

The whiskey decanter has a capacity of nearly 1000ml (33.75 fl oz), one of the biggest on this list. You can decant a whole bottle of your favorite whiskey without having to leave some in the bottle. It comes with six 280ml glasses for all your guests.

Aesthetically, this whiskey decanter set doesn’t look as good as the others on this list—the diamond-detailing isn’t as well-executed, and the glass is reportedly lightweight in hand. The packaging is a featureless cardboard box with cutouts for the different glassware. Having said all that, you’re not going to find a better quality whiskey decanter and glasses set for this price. If you’re looking for a bargain, this is the best we could find.

The Wine Savant World Whisky Decanter

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.

If you’re not familiar with whiskey stones, they are cubes of solid soapstone that keep your whiskey cool without diluting it. They’re odorless and tasteless, so you can enjoy your whiskey without watering it down with ice cubes. Because whiskey kept in a decanter is room temperature, it’s a useful addition.

The Wine Savant World Decanter comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. This decanter set comes with a few more perks, and it’s slightly cheaper, but we prefer the look of the Godinger set. In any case, it would make a beautiful gift for men who love to drink.

Bormioli Rocco Capitol Whisky Decanter

CHECK PRICE ON AMAZON

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.

Because they haven’t attempted to make it look like a crystal decanter with diamond-like detailing all over it, this decanter has a modern design compared to the other decanters featured on this list. It seems less classy but still gives off a sophisticated look.

The only slight complaint is the cheap stopper used. Its glass on top with a plastic seal and customers have mentioned that the plastic seal comes loose after a few months of use. It’s an easy fix with superglue but shouldn’t happen in the first place.

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.

Our favorite feature of the Jillmo Whiskey Decanter is the stainless-steel faucet, a novelty, but we love it. And the two-year warranty is bonus protection.

The aesthetics of the tumblers dulls this set down. They’re well made but boring. Seeing as this is the most impressive decanter on this list, we would have preferred to see more refinement in the glasses.

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.

Included is a polishing cloth to keep the glassware spotless, and be sure to wash before first use as the decanter and glasses come with a protective coating. We’d recommend hand washing them and then use the polishing cloth once they’re dry.

You get a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you buy this set without any worries. It would make a perfect stocking stuffer gift for whiskey lovers.

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.

Your choice between the three globe-shaped decanters will probably be made based on the color of the wood and the decor in your own home. The WEEBNG Whiskey Decanter Set comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if there’s anything wrong with your purchase, the company will refund or replace it.

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.

When we first checked out this whiskey decanter, we couldn’t believe how cheap it was; we were sure something was wrong with it. However, when you see that it’s got nearly 1000 reviews and has maintained a 4.8/5 average rating, reconsideration seems pertinent.

It’s an excellent product, and the reviews are full of customers who couldn’t believe the value either. If you’re looking for a budget decanter, you won’t find any cheaper than this.

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.

Key Features:

Star Wars-inspired design

680ml glass decanter

150ml glass tumblers

Stormtrooper helmet design
