Riedel Single Malt Whiskey Glass, Clear

The impeccable quality of the unadorned handmade Single Malt Whisky glass from the exquisite Sommeliers collection sets it apart. Designed with a small, slightly outturned lip, it skillfully directs the spirit to the tip of the tongue, enhancing the perception of sweetness and highlighting the elegant creaminess of a premium single malt. This revolutionary Sommeliers series boasts the world's first grape varietal-specific wine glass, transforming each sip into a joyous celebration. All RIEDEL glasses in this collection are safe for use in the dishwasher.

Crafted from mouth-blown crystal, this malt whiskey glass is a standout from Riedel's prestigious Sommeliers range, catering to serious whiskey enthusiasts. Just like the acclaimed Sommeliers wine glasses, extensive research and expertise went into shaping this glass specifically for malt whiskeys. Collaborating with master distillers in Scotland and expert single malt tasters in Austria, Riedel created this "elongated thistle" shaped glass on a short stem, perfectly enhancing the delicate malt flavor of whiskey. The flared lip of the glass guides the whiskey to the tip of the tongue, emphasizing its sweetness and bringing out the creamy texture of a single malt.

Renowned experts have confirmed that this particular glass shape surpasses traditional tumblers, which hinder the whiskey's aroma, and balloon snifters, which overpower with excessive alcohol notes, resembling cognac. This delicate glass has a capacity of 7 ounces and stands at 4.53 inches high with a 2.60-inch wide bowl, making it an ideal choice for savoring your favorite whiskey. - Cristina Vaamonde
