Bring the Bar Home: Whiskey, Bourbon, and the Candles Inspired by Them

Whiskey and bourbon aren’t just drinks - they’re experiences. From the smoky sweetness of a well-aged bourbon to the rich complexity of a single malt whiskey, these spirits have stories in every pour. And now, thanks to Waxed & Wasted, you can bring that same experience into your home - without opening a bottle.

The Aroma of a Cocktail, Without the Buzz

Our cocktail-inspired candles capture the essence of your favorite drinks. Take Burnt Sugar Bourbon, for example: it layers smoky bourbon notes with hints of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak - like a cozy night at your favorite bar, distilled into a candle. Every flicker brings a warm, inviting aroma that makes your space feel like a private tasting room.

Why Whiskey Lovers Love Cocktail Candles

Whiskey and bourbon enthusiasts are all about complexity and depth - and that’s exactly what we aim for with our scents. Unlike generic candles, our cocktail-inspired line is designed to evoke the layers of a perfectly crafted drink. Lighting a candle isn’t just ambiance; it’s a multi-sensory experience that mirrors the care you’d take in savoring a fine whiskey.

Perfect for Pairing or Gifting

Just like a fine bourbon pairs with chocolate, cigars, or a rich dessert, our candles pair perfectly with an evening at home. They also make standout gifts for anyone who appreciates quality, craft, and a little indulgence. Imagine giving someone the aroma of a Mint Mojito candle while they sip their favorite cocktail - an experience, not just a scent.

How to Enjoy Your Cocktail Candle

• Set the Scene: Light your candle during a tasting night or casual gathering to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

• Layer Scents: Pair different cocktail candles to mimic a full bar experience.

• Mind the Burn: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch and let the wax pool evenly for the richest aroma.

Take the Experience Home

Whether you’re a bourbon aficionado or just discovering whiskey, our cocktail-inspired candles bring a bar-quality experience to your living room. Light a candle, take a sip, and enjoy the flavors and aromas of your favorite spirits - without the hangover.
