Whisky & Spirits Glass - Universal
For balancing intensity and nuance
The absolute highest quality European hand-blown titanium crystal stemware.
Designed to provide you with a detailed drinking experience that enhances complex aromas and minimizes alcohol burn. Whether it's for daily drams or special pours, your spirits deserve beautiful glassware.
These glasses are made by old-world craftsmen in Europe. The glass shop has been producing exclusively hand-made glassware for over 200 years.
The glasses are made with a titanium crystal composition that is lead-free and surpasses European standards and ensures terrific clarity and brilliance.
Modern materials and production standards mean these are tough. You can put them in the dishwasher! The short stem enables them to fit in pretty much all top racks as well.
The glass is loved by world-class establishments such as Michelin-starred Providence in Los Angeles to Atomix in NYC and Timberyard in Edinburgh.
To help you save if the glass breaks, we will replace the original (no questions asked, just a photo for proof!) at a reduced wholesale cost.
We tossed aside stereotypes to create the Titanium Whisky & Spirits glass. They are hand-made in a 200+ year old European crystal-shop for a more sophisticated and interactive experience. With the philosophy of fine wine stemware as our guide, this stemmed glass is designed to aerate the spirit and focus its complexity. You truly will not find anything else comparable.
The elevated glass adds presence and elegance, yet it's not overly tall. It is steady on any flat surface and can easily fit in all dishwashers.
The lightness of the crystal provides an extremely comfortable and effortless drinking experience. Titanium strengthening ensures durability.
The crystal glass meets the highest of European production standards. It's free of color tinting or distortion, and reflects light cleanly and gracefully.
The wide maximum diameter enables up to a 2oz or 50ml pour to rest in the widest part of the bowl. There's plenty of space inside the glass to hold those great aromas.
A dramatic linear taper concentrates all the aromas up to a short neck
where they can closely intermingle before releasing into open air.
The flared lip allows your nose to enjoy concentrated aromas yet provides enough distance from the spirit so you are not overwhelmed. The glass delivers mid-palate and with fair volume.
The glass offers excellent balance between high aeration and significant focus.
The wide maximum diameter enables more oxygen to interact with the spirit, encouraging greater release of the compounds that produce all those wonderful scents. A linear taper then concentrates those aromas up to a short neck where they can closely intermingle before releasing into open air. The flared lip cups your nose to lock in the detailed aromas, while providing some distance so you are not overwhelmed. It's all a delicate balance.
Many think that choosing between stemmed and stemless glassware is simply a personal preference.
Discerning enthusiasts typically prefer stemware as it eliminates fingerprints from clouding the bowl and hiding the spirit inside, as well as reducing any distracting aromas on your hand from lotion, soap, or food that may affect your nosing experience.
Durability is not a serious factor with our design because the stem is relatively compact and fortified with titanium - the highest strength-to-weight metal.
Sometimes accidents happen.
Maybe your pup hears the pour of your whiskey or mezcal, comes running over, jumps on the table, and knocks your glass over. If your original glass breaks, for any reason, we will replace it at the wholesale cost, no questions asked.
