A slender tasting glass designed to concentrate aroma and bring greater clarity to whisky, spirits and thoughtful tasting rituals.

Made for Aroma

A tasting glass changes the way a spirit is experienced.

Unlike a wide tumbler, this Whisky Nosing & Tasting Glass uses a narrow opening and elongated profile to help direct aroma toward the nose while keeping the serving intentionally restrained.

With a 4.5 cm / 1.8 in rim diameter and 11.5 cm / 4.5 in height, its proportions are inspired by professional sensory and spirits-tasting glassware.

Pour less.

Slow down.

Notice more.

Why Shape Matters

Whisky is experienced through aroma as much as taste.

The shape of a glass influences how those aromas reach the nose.

A traditional whisky tumbler provides a broad opening and generous drinking experience, making it particularly natural for whisky served neat, with ice or in a relaxed setting.

A tasting glass has a different purpose.

Its narrower opening creates a more concentrated space above the spirit, helping make careful nosing easier.

That makes this glass particularly suited to moments when the goal is not simply to drink whisky—but to understand it.

Designed for Nosing

Pour a small measure into the glass.

Allow the spirit to rest.

Bring the glass toward the nose without immediately placing it too close.

Notice the first aromas.

Move away.

Return.

Then taste.

A smaller tasting vessel encourages this slower approach.

Instead of filling the glass generously, the emphasis moves toward observation.

Aroma. Texture. Structure. Finish.

Whisky, Seen More Closely

A familiar whisky can become surprisingly different when tasted with attention.

Fruit may become clearer.

Oak may move forward.

Sweetness may appear where it was previously overlooked.

Another aroma may only emerge after several minutes in the glass.

The spirit has not changed.

The way you approach it has.

That is the purpose of a dedicated tasting glass.

Beyond Whisky

Although particularly suited to whisky tasting, the restrained shape can also be used for comparative tasting of other spirits.

Try it with:

Single Malt Whisky
Blended Whisky
Bourbon
Rye Whisky
Japanese Whisky
Brandy
Cognac
Rum
Baijiu and other distilled spirits

A set can also be used for side-by-side tastings, allowing several spirits to be compared under more consistent conditions.

From Drinking to Tasting

There is a difference between drinking and tasting.

Drinking can be effortless.

Tasting asks for attention.

A smaller pour.

A closer look.

A moment with the aroma before the first sip.

The glass does not need to be elaborate.

In fact, the less it distracts, the better it can perform its role.

This one is deliberately restrained.

Clear glass.

Simple proportions.

A vessel that allows the spirit to remain the focus.

A Different Companion to Whisky

Not every whisky moment needs the same glass.

A hand-cut crystal tumbler creates weight, ceremony and visual presence.

A tasting glass does almost the opposite.

It becomes quieter.

Lighter.

More analytical.

One celebrates the ritual of drinking.

The other encourages you to pay closer attention to what is inside.

There is room for both.

Art of Quiet Living.

Curator's Note

We like this glass precisely because it does not try to compete with the whisky.

Its narrow rim and compact proportions make it particularly natural for tasting small measures, while the transparent, restrained form keeps attention on the colour and character of the spirit.

For someone building a whisky collection, we would pair beautiful tumblers for drinking with dedicated tasting glasses for exploration.

Two glasses.

Two different rituals.
