Know before you buy
The tall, narrow chimney is specifically designed to concentrate delicate aromatics while buffering the harshness of high-alcohol spirits. This shape helps you detect subtle fruit notes in sake and sherry that might otherwise be masked by the intensity of the alcohol.
Yes, they are excellent for a variety of fortified wines including vermouth and various styles of sake. The 7-ounce capacity is perfectly proportioned for the smaller serving sizes typically associated with these spirits.
Because these are handmade crystal, we recommend hand washing them with warm water and a mild detergent to maintain their clarity. The set includes a microfiber cloth, which is ideal for polishing the glasses to a streak-free finish after drying.
Each glass stands at 8.5 inches tall. We recommend measuring your shelf height before purchasing to ensure they fit comfortably in your glassware storage.
While they are crafted with a delicate feel to enhance the tasting experience, they are made from high-quality European crystal. They are durable for standard entertaining, though they should be handled with the care typically afforded to fine stemware.
