Frequently asked questions
Why is it shaped like that?
The wide bowl gives whisky room to oxygenate, the tapered rim concentrates the aroma at your nose. Distillers designed it after years of tasting.
Can I drink cocktails out of these?
Possible but cramped. The 6oz capacity makes them too small for an Old Fashioned with ice. Use them for neat whisky or rum tasting.
Dishwasher safe?
Yes, top-rack. Owners report years of use without etching.
