Bourbon maker Jim Beam has launched what it's calling a first-ever smart decanter that pours on voice command. — AFP Relaxnews
INSPIRED by voice-controlled speakers like Amazon's Alexa and Google Home, the decanter features a gimmicky "shot-pouring" functionality with the command "Hey Jim, pour me a drink".
But the bourbon buck stops there.
"Jim" can't hail a cab, or provide a weather report.
Voiced by seventh-generation Master Distiller Fred Noe, the device responds to questions – bourbon-related and otherwise – with cheeky, Southern-style charm.
Ask Jim, for instance, about the best way to drink bourbon? And you get: "Any damn way you please."
The device sells for $34.90, (RM142) at www.jimbeam.com. — AFP Relaxnews
