I ordered these cherry wood chips to turn an inexpensive Blanco Tequila into a rich tasting Cherry Wood Reposado in just a few days time and it works great! I don't use these Cherry Chips with a drink smoker but I make even better tasting drinks and can flavor a large amount of Tequila in just a few days time. I start by placing a tray of the Cherry Wood Chips in a small toaster oven at 250F for about 1 hour which turns the chips a little darker color. I then put a couple of palms full of the toasted chips in a jar with a wide mouth and pour the low cost Blanco Tequila into the jar until it is full. Give it about 4 to 5 days to "age" and you have a nice tasting Cherry Reposado which tastes great in comparison to what it was made from and it has a wonderful color to boot. I'm sure this would work great in a drink smoker too!

These cherry wood chips smell amazing and add such a nice, smooth flavor to my cocktails, especially Old Fashioneds. The smoke isn’t too overpowering — just enough to give that perfect bar-style touch at home. The chips are dry and light up easily with my smoker. Great quality in a small bag that goes a long way. Definitely a fun way to impress guests or elevate your evening drink!

Have never had a smoked alcoholic drink. Eventually I'll get around to trying it but the reason I ordered these wood chips is to smoke pork. Been looking for a small pork loin but all I'm finding is boneless pork chops in my small Texas town. I need a cut much thicker that won't dry out. I've had smoked pork loin before. It was excellent but I don't remember what wood was used to smoke it. However, my research tells me that cherry wood works well with pork.There's enough wood chips in this package to smoke 1000 drinks so I'll be able to smoke many loins of pork once I find a market that sells what I need.

There’s something particularly satisfying about turning a good bourbon into a showstopper with just a pinch of smoke. These cherry wood chips make that easy, clean, and just fancy enough to impress your friends without feeling like you’ve wandered into hipster mixology territory. The packaging is smart, the chips are clean and uniform, and the cherry wood brings that sweet, fruity aroma that pairs beautifully with everything from whiskey to rum. If you’ve got a cocktail smoker—or are shopping for someone who does—this is a perfect little addition.My Rubric✅ Good = Qualifies as a selling point➖ So-So = Not great, but also nothing resembling a showstopper❌ Not Good = Could be a showstopperMy star ratings, which tend to skew upward due to limitations in the 5-star system, are further elaborated in a decimalized scoring at the end of the review.Finally, although some items have been freely offered via the Vine system, I refuse to sell out and will never allow a vendor to influence my scoring through any means other than the quality of the product, both on its own and in relation to the current pricing at the time of my review. I value the efforts of other honest reviewers and wish nothing more than to pay their efforts forward in hopes of faithfully guiding others to informed decisions.The Good✅ Ideal chip size – Finely cut for consistent ignition and even smoke in a cocktail smoker✅ Fantastic aroma – Cherry wood gives a subtly sweet, clean smoke that plays beautifully with whiskey, rum, and old fashioneds✅ Compact, resealable packaging – The hard-sided container keeps chips dry and organized, with a tight seal and an included mini scoop✅ Clean burn – No chemical treatments, no weird additives—just good, clean cherry woodThe So-So➖ Price is a bit high per ounce – But that’s par for the course with cocktail-specific products (and at least it’s not wasted on fancy labeling)➖ 5 oz sounds like more than it looks – It’s enough for a lot of cocktails, but it doesn’t scream “bulk deal”The Not-Good❌ Packaging may arrive cracked – Not a universal issue, but I’ve seen enough anecdotal mentions of shipping damage to flag itThe DetailsI have a soft spot for smoking cocktails—not just for the taste, but because it makes for a lovely little ritual. These cherry chips slot right into that ritual. They're dry, uniform, and properly sized for a smoking gun or torch-style kit. No fiddling required, no big BBQ chunks to wrestle with. The included metal scoop is more thoughtful than I expected—it fits right into the container and avoids spills, which is more than I can say for some of the gimmicky stuff I’ve received over the years.As for flavor, cherry is a safe and pleasing bet for whiskey-based cocktails. It adds just enough sweetness and depth to round out a spirit without overpowering it. It even does a nice job on smoked cheese or nuts, if you’re feeling ambitious. The container is practical, resealable, and includes a desiccant packet to keep the chips dry between uses—a must, especially if you're in a humid climate or using this seasonally.Bottom line: If you’ve got a drink smoker or you’re buying a gift for someone who does, this little box of cherry wood chips is a great pickup. It works, it smells fantastic, and it doesn’t take up much space—just like any good bar tool should.Final Rating: 4.7/5 (A flavorful and easy-to-use addition for cocktail lovers; worth it for the aroma and quality alone, though a sturdier box would make it perfect.)

These GIHOP Cherry Wood Chips for Smoking are excellent! I use them in both my manual and electric cocktail smoker's and they work great. They are the perfect size chips for the purpose, and burn easily, but steadily. Cherry Wood is my favorite wood chips to use for smoking my Maple Old Fashioned cocktails, and the smoke from these chips have a great flavor. The chips are nice and fresh. The box they come in has a nice tight seal to keep the humidity out. The box came with a nice, simple metal spoon to measure out the chips, which is useful and a nice touch. I had been using a small spoon made for scooping loose leaf tea for quite awhile, but the spoon that came with this box of chips is actually a bit better because it is smaller and easier to fill, having no sides.I can absolutely recommend these GIHOP Cherry Wood Chips for Smoking. They are perfect for smoking cocktails and the price point is very reasonable...5 ounces of chips will smoke a lot of drinks!I happily give it a Full 5 Stars!

I bought these cherry chips to smoke whiskey drinks, and they deliver a fantastic flavor! The first package arrived broken and spilled all over the box, which was disappointing. However, the second one came in perfect condition, and there’s a good amount of chips included. I also appreciate the spoon that comes with it—definitely a nice touch. Overall, I’d give it 4 stars due to the initial packaging issue, but the quality of the chips is solid!
