Description

Go back in time to old Kentucky with this piece of distilling history. A copper Whiskey Thief is the exact tool used by Master Distillers across the globe for centuries. As its name implies, it sneaks in and “steals” a sample straight from the barrel, then releases into a cup. The most pleasant way to test any batch is the old-fashioned way—taste it yourself!  Hand-crafted from copper with an artfully hammered copper handle.  Uncoated and all natural for pure unadulterated quality. Enjoy the patina that develops over time or the tarnish can be easily polished to restore shiny finish.  (“Old school” distillers and enthusiasts actually PREFER the patina.)  An authentic part of whiskey culture. Elegant, state-of-the-art, a true classic. Ideal for use or display. A Whiskey Thief is the must-have accessory for any bourbon enthusiast.

Crafted by Shawn Stevens who is a retired Vendome craftsman.  Each of the whiskey thieves he creates is a unique design and a true one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.
