Corporate Gifts for Whiskey Lovers: An Engraved Gift Clients Keep on the Bar

Most corporate whiskey gifts are a bottle, etched glasses or a gift basket, and each one runs into trouble when you are buying for twenty or two hundred people: the bottle gets finished (or was the wrong spirit), the glasses vanish into a cabinet, and the basket is gone in a week.

The gift that works is one a whiskey drinker reaches for every time they pour, with your company's name on it. Companies order the engraved SmokeTop Cocktail Smoker by Middleton Mixology for clients, staff and partners for that reason.

What Makes a Good Corporate Gift for Whiskey Lovers

A corporate gift has a different job than a personal one. It has to suit people you do not know well, ship cleanly to many addresses, and keep your name in front of the recipient after the holidays. Run every option through these checks:

• It gets used, not stored. A gift used every week keeps your brand on the bar. One used once is forgotten by January.
• It works whatever they drink. Bourbon, rye, Scotch, an old fashioned or a Manhattan: the gift should fit all of them without you guessing a bottle.
• It carries your name or theirs. Engraving turns a catalog item into something made for the recipient.
• It contains no alcohol. A gift with no spirit in the box avoids the rules that apply to shipping liquor.
• It arrives ready. A recipient should not have to buy anything else to use it on the first night.

Why the SmokeTop Works as a Corporate Gift

The original, patented SmokeTop®. Made in the USA, by bartenders, ready for your home bar.

The SmokeTop is a cocktail smoker made from American cherry wood. It sits on the rim of a rocks glass or coupe. A small pinch of wood chips goes on the stainless steel screen, a torch lights them, and the glass fills with smoke in about five seconds. Grooves on the underside let the air in the glass escape as smoke moves down, so the smoke keeps flowing. That airflow design is covered by U.S. Patent No. 11,871,769.

It was designed by bartenders for a busy service, and today it runs in thousands of bar locations across the country. Your client gets that same tool at home.

The engraving faces the guest. We laser-engrave your logo or the recipient's name into the cherry wood, in-house. Every time the recipient smokes a drink for friends, your mark is the thing on top of the glass.

It lasts. Each SmokeTop is rated for about 500 uses, and every one ships with five spare mesh screens. A gift given this December is still on the bar next December.

It is ready on arrival. The SmokeTop Cherry Bundle holds the smoker, a refillable butane torch, four wood chip flavors and five spare screens. Choose the Butane Included option and the fuel is in the box, so the recipient can smoke a drink the evening it arrives.

Which SmokeTop to Give

• SmokeTop Cherry Bundle. The most complete single gift: smoker, torch, four wood chip flavors and spare screens in a branded gift box. The right choice for clients and executives.
• SmokeTop on its own. The smoker with sample chips and five spare screens. A good fit when the budget per person is tighter, or when the recipients already own a kitchen torch.
• SmokeTop 5-Pack. Five smokers in one carton, priced below five singles. Suited to a team, a department or a client office where one box lands and is shared out.

See all three, with current pricing, on the corporate gifts page.

Occasions Companies Use It For

• Client holiday gifts. One engraved gift per client contact, shipped to each office or home.
• Closing gifts. For real estate agents and lenders, an engraved SmokeTop with the buyer's last name or the year on the top.
• Employee recognition. Year-end thank-yous, work anniversaries and sales club awards.
• Partner and vendor thank-yous. A gift with a long shelf life for the relationships you want to keep.
• Events and incentives. Conference gifts, retreat gifts and incentive trip welcome boxes.
