A whisky glass with a heavy base is not just for show: it keeps the heat of your hand away from the spirit and stays steady on the table. Here you will find low, wide tumblers, narrow, tall ones and stemmed tasting glasses.
DOF, SOF and tasting glasses
- DOF (double old fashioned) — wide and low: for whisky with ice and cocktails served over ice.
- SOF — narrower: for drinking neat, when you want to concentrate the aroma.
- Tasting — stemmed, with a flared rim: the shape for truly tasting a spirit.
- Cognac and grappa — a bowl that narrows at the top to collect the aromas of the alcohol.
Why the base is thick
Weight provides stability and helps maintain temperature: a solid base acts as a ballast and keeps the spirit away from the heat of the table and your hand. In crafted glasses, the base is also where engraving is most visible, because its thickness magnifies the light.
The rest of the table
On the same table, you will find cocktail glasses, carafes and decanters and crystal glasses. All the NUDE glassware is in NUDE, with the complete range in the home section.
Frequently asked questions
Is a tumbler or a tasting glass better?
It depends on how you drink it. With ice or in mixed drinks, you need a wide tumbler that gives the cube room. To taste whisky neat, the tasting glass, with a rim that narrows and then flares out, directs the aromas towards the nose and genuinely changes the experience.
Does ice ruin whisky?
It dilutes it, which is beneficial for some whiskies: it opens up aromas closed off by the alcohol. The problem is how quickly it melts. A large cube melts more slowly than many small ones, and glasses with marble bases cool the drink without adding water.
What is the difference between crystal and ordinary glass?
Lead-free crystal is more transparent, more resonant and can be worked thinner while maintaining the same strength. In a spirits glass, this is most noticeable on the rim and in the brilliance of the base, where ordinary glass remains dull.
Are they also suitable for rum or mezcal?
Yes. Tumblers work for any spirit served over ice, and tasting glasses work well with aged rum and mezcal, where the aromatic profile matters as much as it does with whisky.
