What is the purpose of a whiskey decanter? Well, it supposedly allows aromas to oxidize and will serve as a more appealing vehicle than a bottle. And if you’re  still not certain whether you need one for your Man Cave, here are 6 Reasons Why You Should Use a Whiskey Decanter.

Will it actually make your bourbon or whiskey taste better? We’re not sure. But many experts are of the belief that it will not improve the flavor. Why? Because, unlike wine, exposing whiskey or bourbon to oxygen will do nothing to enhance the flavor. And unless you’re a connoisseur of the dark liquor, rather than a weekend warrior whiskey drinker, it’s probably unlikely you can tell the difference between a decanted glass of whiskey or a glass of bourbon poured straight from the bottle.

Hey, you could probably have an outing in your Man Cave where you and friends have a test amongst yourselves. You know, to see whether you can pick the decanted whiskey or bourbon. C’mon, you remember the 80’s and the Pepsi challenge with Coca-Cola. Well, in case it slipped your memory or you’re not a product of the one of the best decades ever, then maybe you need a refresher course (uh, that a reference to Fletch)…

That’s Gabe Kaplan, who played Mr. Kotter in the classic late 70’s sitcom Welcome Back Kotter, which also starred John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino, one of the sweathogs…

And if you still have a DVD player, you can get the Complete Series of Welcome Back Kotter. Okay, back on topic. So even if a whiskey decanter doesn’t improve the flavor, it seems that a decanter will at least preserve the life of whiskey. As well as maintaining the quality of the dark liquor. And there’s no harm in transferring whiskey or bourbon into a decanter unless you want to showcase the bottle for your friends. But you can still achieve that modest goal by leaving a little bit of bourbon in your vintage Papi’s to display on your Industrial Rustic Floating Shelf.

In addition, you have to consider the aesthetics of a liquor decanter. They just look nice. And don’t you want to impress your friends? Of course, you do. We mean, why do you by a car? Okay, maybe for practicality, but if it’s a choice between a Honda Civic and a BMW, which way are you leaning.

Finally, we need to provide the standard disclaimer when it comes to drinking whiskey. It tends to lead to bad decisions. So, you should probably take a look at some Whiskey and Bad Decisions Apparel. Or, consider this sign for your Man Cave…

Anyway, these are our suggestions, in no particular order, for at least one liquor decanter or set for your Man Cave…

The first option for a whiskey decanter set is a traditional or classic glass or crystal version such as this. In fact, you will “take your drinking experience to the next level with this luxurious decanter whiskey and glass set.” And your “Bourbon, good liquors and blends deserve to be regarded with respect.” You can also consider the clean and simple Mount Everest Whiskey Decanter Set with Glasses, the beautiful Whiskey Decanter Set with Glasses and Wooden Base or the Irish Cut Decanter for your Jameson.

The vintage car is made of real wood and entirely hand made. You don’t even need to use this as a decanter. Just stick it somewhere in your Man Cave, maybe on top of your home bar.  Seriously, it can merely to hold your favorite bottle of bourbon or whiskey. You can also consider the similarly exquisite looking Model T Whiskey Decanter Set or simply get all three as well as this Old Fashioned Car Decanter and become a collector of vintage automobile decanters. Or if transportation vehicles is your interest, you can consider a unique and elegant Motorcycle Decanter.

You can put some Jim Beam in this vintage Firetruck Whiskey Decanter, which includes a set of rocks glasses. As described, “This handsome decanter is a fun and personalized way to enjoy your favorite whiskey, bourbon or scotch.” And it would be a “perfect addition to any firefighter’s home bar that will make toasting evermore special!” Though we don’t think you necessarily have to be a firefighter to have this firetruck whiskey decanter set in your Man Cave filled with Jim Beam, or whatever liquor of choice. And speaking of trucks, you can consider this Pick-Up Truck Decanter or Truck Decanter.

If you’re an avid golfer, or even a high-handicapped hacker, or occasional golfer, this would make a great conversation piece for your Man Cave. And it comes with two golf ball whiskey glasses. As described, the “large artisan designed decanter inside the golf cart is a beautiful way to serve expensive alcohol.” Or even mid-priced bourbon or whiskey. You can also consider the Golf Club Decanter with Four Golf Ball Whiskey Glasses, which will “take your hosting skills to the next level.” We mean, who doesn’t want to be a next level host. There is also another version of the Golf Club Decanter.

And in keeping with a Sports-themed Man Cave, take a look at the Godinger Baseball Bat Decanter Set or the Baseball Bat Decanter and four Glasses. Now if the gridiron perks your interest, then consider the Football Whiskey Decanter Set with Glasses. Or a decanter of what appears to be an Arm Extended from the Ground About to Throw a Football. Good luck choosing just one sports-related decanter.

Ah, the weight of the world sits on your shoulders. There’s so much on your mind. Responsibilities. Decisions. But why buy this for your Man Cave. Well, because its Atlas holding the World on his shoulders, well, maybe just some bourbon or whiskey in a glass globe decanter. But you know the deal, Zeus enslaved Atlas to holding up the earth on his shoulders for all eternity. There is another version of the Atlas World Globe Decanter Set, which he appears to be standing more upright. And if you’re an Atlas guru, you can also take a look at the Atlas Bar Cabinet.

This liquor decanter set will “sit majestically on its movable wheels with style and grace.” And a bonus, you get two airplane glasses. As described, “This beautifully built model airplane with a mouth blown decanter and 2 airplane glasses is a must have. The Airplane model is reminiscent of old times and the wood base has an amber hue which makes this a beautiful home piece.” We think you should add this to your Man Cave. And why not go full airplane mode and add the Airplane Cocktail Shaker.  You can also consider the Jet Decanter Set or the Whiskey Decanter Airplane Globe Set. Finally, if you’re a space lover, adventurer, or risk taker, then consider the Rocket Whiskey Decanter for your Man Cave.

This would be a nice addition to your Man Cave. The liquor decanter is engraved with “We The People” and American Flag, and the patriotic whiskey glass is engraved with the original text of the Constitution of the United Sates. Pretty cool, huh? Well, you can also consider the American Pride 24oz Glass Decanter, which features a patriotic banner on the front. Or the Declaration of Independence Patriotic Decanter. Finally, you should consider the Pledge of Allegiance Rocks Glasses as part of your Man Cave barware.

Well, if you need a whiskey decanter for your Man Cave, then why not one of a Tiger, the King of the Jungle…oh, wait, that’s the Lion. Still, the Tiger should be co-King of the Jungle. And this glass decanter is “mouth-blown by skilled glass artisans in Turkey.” What is mouth-blown, you ask? Okay, we know what you’re thinking. Actually, mouth-blown glass is when the glassmaker molds the glass by blowing into the tube while rotating the glass to shape it. There you go. You learn something new every day. And if you want the King of the Jungle, take a look at the Lion Whiskey Decanter.

Other decanter animals to consider is the Charging Bull, the Horse Derby Glass Figurine, the Big Horn Sheep, the Cheetah Decanter, and even the fictional Dragon. And you will need additional barware, and you can take a look at the Double Exposure Bear Whiskey Glasses.

We’re sure you’re asking yourself – how do they get that detailed ship inside the decanter? Or maybe you’ll ask that question to your kid. And they can google it, rather than use the Encyclopedia Britannica that, if you were an 80’s man, is how you did your research. Oh, and this will look like a sunken ship once filled with your favorite alcoholic beverage. You can also consider another version of the Whiskey Decanter with Ship. or a Globe Shaped Version.

We don’t think its absolutely necessary to have a whiskey decanter set for your Man Cave. That is, if the sole purpose is to improve the flavor of your dark liquor. Rather, our sense is a liquor decanter will simply provide class and decor to your weekend retreat. Unless you want the Middle Finger Decanter, then that may void the elegance you’re looking for in your Man Cave. But your friends would appreciate it. In addition to the decanters specified in this article, there are so many choices, including a Star Wars Stormtrooper Decanter. And if your outdoorsmen who likes fishing, you can consider a Bass Decanter or Sailfish Decanter. You can even get a Lighted Liquor Decanter. Yes, there are many options, and you can peruse these Decanters & Shakers, but we do think you need at least one whiskey decanter set for your Man Cave.
