Riedel Vinum Single Malt Scotch Glasses, Set of 6

Description

Product description Sip in style with this Riedel Vinum Single Malt Whiskey
glass set. Introduced in 1986, Vinum became the first machine-made glass in
history to be based on the characteristics of grape varietal. Designed in
tasting work shops based on the performance where the content commands the
shape, each Vinum glass is made from machine-blown crystal and shaped for each
type of wine or beverage. The Vinum series has since branched into the bar and
spirits glasses for the ultimate home bar experience. This set’s design
incorporates a small, slightly outturned lip which directs the spirit onto the
tip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived, and serves to emphasize the
elegant creaminess of top quality single malt whisky. With its specially
designed shape to enhance the aged whiskey flavors, this beautiful glass set
is the perfect way to enjoy single malt and other whiskeys.2-1/2″ diameter x
4-1/2″ H, with a 7 ounce capacity If you tend to echo the words of
actor Joe Don Baker in Mitchell–when asked, “How do you like your Scotch?” he
replied, “By the quart”–then the Riedel Vinum series single malt whiskey
glass may not be your cup of Teaninich. Not so for fans of small-batch
Bourbons and other nonblended whiskies: with its flared lip and wide tulip-
shaped bowl atop the circular base, this vessel is designed to direct its
contents to flavor-friendly areas of the mouth and nose. The underlying theory
of all Riedel stemware states that the tongue is divided into four zones, each
recognizing either sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, or acidity; by changing
the size and shape of the glass, Riedel can accentuate wine’s and spirits’
positives while mitigating negatives. Unlike the traditional brandy snifter,
which concentrates the alcoholic vapors and burns out the shnoz, the lip of
the single malt glass disperses them, allowing you to enjoy the subtleties,
whether your drink be Speyburn or sour mash. –Tony Mason
