You will the find the Spirits Smoother very easy to use... it has no moving parts, requires no maintenance, is easily hand washed, is durable, and provides drip less pouring. Simply "plug" snugly into the bottle-neck and pour away! Only beverages poured through the Spirit's Smoother are altered; beverage left in the bottle remains unaltered. Neodymium magnets create the powerful magnetic field that works the Spirits Smoother's magic. Magnetic treatment for beverages is not new; however, our method, which combines oxygenation and specially designed magnets is so unique that the Spirits Smoother has been issued a US Patent. The Bev Wizard is an ingeniously designed pouring device that improves many wood matured spirits, including bourbon, scotch, cognac, brandy, calvados, Irish and Canadian whiskies and oak matured tequilas. Aging spirits, tequilas or whiskies in wood barrels improves flavor and richness at the expense of tannins which cause bitterness on the "finish". As tannic spirits or whiskies pass through a combination of oxygen and the high-intensity magnetic field in the pouring spout, the structure of the tannins is rapidly altered, yielding a softer, silkier mouthfeel. Wooded spirits are made to taste softer, smoother, and richer.
