NEVER PUT THE TUMBLERS IN THE DISHWASHER

Our oak whiskey tumblers are made to drink whiskey neat or on ice, so you will only need to rinse the tumblers with warm water after every use because whiskey, by itself, will never create a dirty interior.

However, to clean the interior, you should do so in a natural way that won't damage the wood. We recommend to spritz the interior of the tumbler with a 50-50 mix of white vinegar and water, then wipe out the excess with a clean towel. Air dry the tumbler for a few hours afterwards before using again.

How to seal any minor leaks, cracks, and raised grains.

Minor Leaks

Our whiskey tumblers and shot "glasses" are made from 100% natural wood, which inherently has a porous structure. This natural characteristic means that tiny leaks could develop in the wood. We also finish our products with food-grade mineral oil and beeswax, which is also 100% natural. If we sealed our tumblers with polyurethane or epoxy to make them non-porous, it would defeat the entire purpose, which is to make your whiskey taste better by interacting with the wood.

If a small leak does happen to appear, all you need to do is some water and our wood rub to seal it up. Here's how to do this:

1. Fill up our tumbler about halfway with warm (NOT HOT) water
2. Add a paper towel or bowl underneath and let sit for an hour
3. Pour out any remaining water and then apply a small glob of our wood rub to the interior and exterior. Regular beeswax also works great.
4. Turn the tumbler upside down and let the wood rub dry for 4+ hours

Minor Cracks

Wood is a living, breathing material that continues to respond to its environment long after being shaped into one of our tumblers or shot glasses. When there's a change in moisture levels in the environment, wood can contract and move, causing a crack.

This can be prevented by properly caring for and maintaining our tumblers with our specially formulated wood rub and by also keeping the tumbler in a temperature controlled environment.

For example, if you're by a bonfire for a few hours sipping your whiskey, we recommend to apply our wood rub both before and after. Excess heat and smoke from the fire could dry out the wood causing it to crack but pre-treating and post-treating helps to preserve and protect the wood from the environment. Basically, our specially formulated wood rub seals in moisture and forms a protective barrier around the wood. It's also 100% food-grade so it's safe to apply on the interior as well.

Raised Grain

If your tumbler feels rough or fuzzy, it's because the grain has raised due to moisture or humidity. This can be prevented by applying our wood rub to the tumblers after every two uses. If you live in a very cold or very hot climate, we recommend applying it to the exterior and interior after every use.

However, you can fix this by lightly sanding the affected area starting at 180 grit and working your way up to 320 until smooth. Afterwards, wash and dry the tumbler and then apply our wood rub to seal it.
