Remember Smokpub, the $50 electric cocktail and whiskey smoker selling hot during the Christmas season? Well, the team behind the handy little device is back to the grind. This time around the company brings Smokpub iWhiskey Glass Pro V1 to Kickstarter. The glass draws your attention right away with its clean, modern look. It’s not fussy like DIAMAS tumbler nor does it look too overdone like Liiton Peaks crystal whiskey glasses. It rather appears to be quite an ergonomic drinking vessel that feels good in your hand.
Now the question is, what makes the glass so special? Well, there are multiple reasons, but the prime functionality of iWhiskey Glass Pro V1 is it being compatible with Smokpub’s cocktail smoker. All one is required to do is just pour in whiskey, add a pinch of wood chips, and let it work its charm. The design keeps things easy. You don’t need to be a bartender or a tech whiz to use it. It’s made for anyone who loves a good drink and wants to try something new.
The smoky flavor is not the only USP of the glass. Smokpub touts the iWhiskey Glass Pro V1 features 10-in-one touch-controlled mood lighting and three adjustable brightness levels. I like this idea considering drinking whiskey for me has always been more than just sipping alcohol. It’s a moment where I can slow down, taste something good, and may be share it with someone. The Smokpub iWhisky Glass Pro V1 looks tailor-made for that purpose.
But how can a glass tailor lighting to your moods? Well, the trick lies in the detachable glass base that contains a USB charging port. Once fully charged, if offers ambient lighting mode to the drinker who can adjust colors and tweak brightness levels based on the environment and user preference. So, whether you are having a corporate party or romantic dinner with your girlfriend, the control of the ambient lighting lies totally your hands.
As per the company, “Smokpub iWhiskey Glass Pro V1’s unique RGBW lighting enhances the ambiance of any space, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. With a sleek and elegant design paired with versatile functionality, it’s perfect for any occasion, whether for personal enjoyment or as a social centerpiece.”
Another aspect that had me impressed is the fact that glass pre-chills in 30 seconds, thus preventing you from the hassle of adding ice cubes that end up diluting the overall taste of the whiskey. The maker suggests users take a pre-chilled glass straight from a 0 degrees Fahrenheit freezer, let it sit for just 30 seconds, then pour in their whiskey and gently swirl for even cooling. This instantly drops the temperature by 3-9 degrees Fahrenheit. Add whiskey stones and within 2 minutes, your drink reaches the perfect 50-59 degrees Fahrenheit, the optimal tasting range recognized by whiskey connoisseurs. Though the campaign is live, Smokpub is teasing more details with every passing day, so there might be some surprises still to come.

Since this isn’t Smokpub’s first rodeo and it has delivered on its past promises, I expect them to walk the talk. The campaign is currently live, and if you jump in early, you might score an early bird deal. There is no clarity on the exact shipping dates or what it’s made of but the idea alone is enough to get us curious. As was the case with electric smokers, Smokpub iWhiskey Glass Pro V1 is priced at $49.
