The VoChill Spirits Chiller is our Gift Of The Day, but keep it in mind year-round for anyone who loves their spirits straight up or on the rocks.

Whatever your spirit of choice, the VoChill Spirits Chiller is an elegant solution to the common problem of how to chill your drink without dilution.

It isn’t just a functional device; it’s designed to enhance the entire experience of a quality pour.

This innovative product brings the same temperature-control technology that made VoChill famous in the wine world (see the history below).
 
 
THE DILUTION PROBLEM

Anyone who enjoys sipping whiskey neat knows the dilemma. Ice cubes water down both the flavor. Whiskey stones and other frozen objects inserted into the glass interfere with the drinking experience and can even dull the nose.

Plus, room-temperature spirits, especially overproof* ones, can carry an alcohol burn that masks the subtle flavors you paid good money to taste.
 
 
THE VOCHILL SOLUTION

The VoChill Spirits Chiller addresses all these issues simultaneously. Your pour stays pure and undiluted as the distiller intended, enjoyed at your preferred temperature.

The Chiller is simple to use and stores in your freezer between uses. When you’re ready for a pour, place the glass (provided) in the cradle. The technology conducts thermal energy between the frozen base and the glass’s concave bottom.

Pour your spirit straight up; in two minutes you’ll have a light chill. The longer the glass sits in the cradle, the colder the contents get.

If they start to get too cold for you, just leave the glass out of the cradle for the next few sips and put it back whenever you like. The base maintains its chill-ability for up to two hours—perfect for slow, contemplative sipping.

There’s no need for a coaster. Soft, non-slip feet that elevate the base and keep the table surface dry.

The Chiller is takes minimal freezer space (think of a coaster that’s two inches high) and compactly stacks if you have multiple units.
 
 
WHAT SPIRITS CAN BENEFIT?

While marketed primarily toward whiskey lovers, the Spirits Chiller excels with any spirit.

  • Brown spirits (aged in wood barrels): Bourbon, Irish whiskey, Japanese whisky, reposado Tequila, rye, Scotch, Tennessee whiskey, and others all benefit from the precise temperature control.
  • Certain spirits like aged rum and Cognac reveal more complex characteristics when cooled.
  • White spirits (unaged): cachaça, gin, mezcal, rum, tequila and others.
  • Aged rum and Cognac reveal different characteristics at cooler temperatures.
  •  
    Like Riedel glassware, the specially designed glass shape shows flavors and aromas at their best.

    You can also use it to keep cocktails chilled.

    The Chiller keeps drinks cool for up to two hours. Then, just pop the base back in the freezer. The glass is dishwasher safe.

    HOW VOCHILL WAS INVENTED

    VoChill was born from a problem the founders had with warm wine. Husband-and-wife team Randall and Lisa Pawlik created the first VoChill after one too many glasses of wine turned warm as they were sipping outdoors in the Texas sun.

    They thought there had to be a better way to keep wine chilled without resorting to ice buckets, frozen stones, or insulated tumblers that hide the attractive hue of the wine.

    Their solution—a freezable cradle that chills wine glasses from the outside—became the world’s first personal wine glass chiller. The concept resonated deeply with wine enthusiasts.

    After building prototypes in their garage, the Pawliks launched VoChill, which eventually caught the attention of Oprah Winfrey, who featured it on her Oprah’s Favorite Things list in 2022.

    The company name itself reflects its purpose. “Vo” comes from the word ““savor,” an opportunity to appreciate each sip.

    The success of the wine chillers (there are models for both stemmed and stemmless glasses) led to the creation of the nwe Spirits Chiller, which brings a similar solution to the whiskey-drinking experience.

    There’s chilled, and then there’s just-right-for-whiskey chilled.

    The VoChill personal chiller and glass set takes your favorite spirit from room temp to perfectly chilled without icy dilution within minutes. For neat pours or no-ice cocktails, this sleek setup turns sipping into a science.

    ________________

    *These spirits significantly exceed the standard 80-proof. Barrel Proof/Barrel Strength, Cask Strength, Navy Strength, and Overproof all indicate spirits bottled at their natural, undiluted strength, often over 100 proof (50% Alcohol By Volume, or ABV. These spirits have a richer mouthfeel and more concentrated flavor compared to standard 80-proof (40% ABV) versions. They appeal to enthusiasts seeking authenticity and intensity in their drink. While some people associate a stronger spirit with a harshness, it isn’t the higher alcohol percentage that makes a spirit harsh, but how the well (or not well) the spirit is made. There are plenty of harsh spirits of standard proof!

  • Cask Strength, Barrel Proof, and Barrel Strength are interchangeable terms that indicate that the spirit is bottled straight from the barrel, without added water and thus retaining its natural alcohol level.

  • Navy Strength, traditionally for gin or rum and can also be used for other high-proof spirits, indicates the spirit is around 57% ABV (114 proof). The term originated because the British Royal Navy needed spirits (rum for sailors, gin for officers) strong enough to not waterlog the gunpowder stored nearby. If a cask leaked, the spirit would mix with the gunpowder. A weak spirit would make the gunpowder useless, but a strong spirit would still allow it to ignite, ensuring the cannons could still fire in battle. They’d mix spirits with gunpowder, and if it still ignited, it passed the “proof” test, meaning it was around 57% ABV. “Proof” meant “strong enough.”

    The term “Navy Strength” was popularized in the 1990s when Plymouth Gin reintroduced a 57% ABV bottling.
