Know before you buy
The tulip shape is engineered to concentrate the aromas of your spirit toward the nose, which significantly enhances your ability to detect subtle notes. The tapered lip then directs the liquid to the tip of your tongue, emphasizing the sweeter profiles of the whiskey.
Yes, this mixer glass is intentionally sized to accommodate ice cubes comfortably while still allowing enough room for the spirit to breathe. Its ergonomic design ensures it remains comfortable to hold even when chilled.
These glasses are mouth-blown and hand-cut by artisans, resulting in a higher level of clarity, weight, and detail than mass-produced alternatives. The 24% lead crystal construction provides a distinct brilliance and a premium feel in the hand.
To maintain the clarity and integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand-washing with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can cause clouding or potential damage to the delicate hand-cut edges.
Yes, each set is packaged in a premium presentation carton. The sophisticated box is designed to protect the glasses during transit and provides an elegant unboxing experience, making it a thoughtful choice for a gift.
