LIQUOR POURERS

About

Liquid pourers—also known as pour spouts, speed pourers, and bottle pourers—are an essential tool that every bar should have. By placing them on top of bottles, they streamline and direct the liquid from the bottle to the targeted jigger or shot glass, ensuring consistent, precise, and quick pours.

If you are worried about fruit flies or other contaminants entering your liquor bottles, screened pourer is an excellent choice. It comes with a small built-in screen on its end to keep off unwanted particles from your liquors, making it ideal for outdoor bars. With a much lower flow rate than standard and tapered pourers, this pourer is not suitable for thicker or high-viscosity liquors as it may impede their flow. Measured Pourers. With a mechanical ball-bearing system, measured pourers allow bartenders to pour a specific amount of alcohol and shut the pourer off to avoid over-pouring. This pourer is perfect for busy and high-volume venues to ensure consistent pouring. However, it may limit the
