Know before you buy
The elongated thistle shape is designed to concentrate the complex aromas of the whisky toward the nose. The out-turned lip directs the spirit onto the tip of the tongue, which helps emphasize the natural sweetness and creamy texture of the malt.
While specifically engineered for single malt, the glass works well for other high-quality spirits like aged rum or cognac. Its design is intended to highlight nuanced aromatics, making it a versatile choice for any spirit you want to savor slowly.
Yes, these glasses are dishwasher safe. For the best results and to maintain the clarity of the glass, we recommend using a gentle cycle and ensuring the glasses are spaced properly to avoid contact with other items.
The truncated stem provides a secure, comfortable grip that keeps your hand away from the bowl. This prevents your body heat from warming the whisky too quickly, allowing the spirit to remain at the ideal temperature while you drink.
The Riedel Vinum Single Malt glass has a capacity of 7.055 ounces. This size is ideal for a standard pour, providing enough room for the spirit to breathe and release its full aromatic profile.
