Charcuterie boards are all the rage these days; a significant part of these is cheese. Whether you want a snack with your whiskey or have friends over for hors d’oeuvres and want a whiskey to pair with the cheese on offer, certain cheeses work better with certain whiskies.

You might use oak, birch, cherry, or maple wood chips; cinnamon or rosemary; vanilla beans or citrus peels. Experiment and see what goes well with your favorite whiskey and wow your guests with how cool smoking your whiskey looks. Using Custom Glasses Like how customized beer glasses can make an after-
