I am not shy to admit that I love whiskey. My only complaint is that my home-poured whiskey lacks the taste I get at a bar. For years, I wondered what the secret ingredient or the magical flavour was that was missing from my drink. Lately, I realised that magic touch isn’t something solid or liquid, but smoke, carried through the air. With tools like the Smokpub or Halo Smoker Kit, it’s possible to infuse that smoky magic into your glass. We’ve discussed Smokpub before, it’s time we shed some light on the latter.
If we go by the company’s branding, the “Halo Smoker is a smart, safe, and stunning cold smoking kit designed to elevate your bourbon, scotch, and cocktail experiences.” This innovative device, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, promises to deliver instant cold smoke that will transform your average drink into ‘water of life.’
This means I can quickly infuse my drinks with a rich, smoky aroma without the need for lengthy preparation or complicated setups, perfect for those spontaneous moments when inspiration strikes. The device is also energy-efficient, capable of running for over 60 cycles on a single charge, which makes it convenient for frequent use. It comes with wood chips, so I could start experimenting with different flavors right out of the box.
On the design front, the Halo Smoker flaunts a sleek and modern appearance, making it an attractive addition to any home bar or kitchen. Akin to SmokPub, Halo Smoker Kit is portable, too. This allows users to take it on a camping trip, on business tours, or wherever one pleases. Another standout feature of the kit is its focus on offering safety to the user. Unlike traditional smokers that end up messing the drink, the Halo Smoker is engineered to ensure that the cold smoking process is not only effective but also secure, giving users enough security while experimenting with flavors.
The Halo Smoker kit is easy to operate. All you need to do is load chips in the tray, snap on the base, and hold the touch button to power on the smoker. Next, you are required to press the power button again to set fire to the inner wood. Once done, smoke begins to flow downwards. Here, the Halo Smoker kit ensures it blends with every last dregs of whiskey left.
While the Halo Smoker is marketed primarily for bourbon, scotch, and cocktails, its versatility extends far beyond these options. “The smoker can also be used for foods like cheese, barbecue, and steak to add a smoky flavor and enhance the taste. For desserts like chocolate or ice cream, a light smoke can add a unique touch,” the maker claims. The Halo Smoker is currently in the midst of its Kickstarter campaign and can be preordered for an early bird price of $79.
