Review on American Metalcraft ACJ4 Antique Copper by James Julien

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not sure if this is for more than decoration

This product is marked Stainless Steel on the inside and Antique on the outside. First let me say that this is a wonderful specimen. I bought two of these jiggers in different sizes and both have aged to an impressive antique finish. But that's only half the story, isn't it? This is meant to be a functional piece and I counted on that functionality to make my guest enjoy using it as much as I did. However, the inside of both jiggers is an unfinished piece of brushed metal, which gave my drinks a very metallic taste. I've used both chilled liqueur and room temperature liqueur with the same result. I'm sure it's handmade by the seller, but I think they're missing the 'finished' product. I will come back and add a comparison photo between these unfinished innards of each product and a typical stainless steel jigger. But now I'll probably keep them and use them as decorations in my bar. After all, they are great. Update: Downgraded to 1 star as I have had no response from seller and have just purchased a matching food plate.
