Riedel Veritas Spirits 6449/71 - 2 pcs.

A glass of spirits doesn't need much volume to do its job. This small, elongated glass is shaped for nosing whisky, cognac and other spirits, where aroma - not quantity - is the whole point.

The Expert's Description

Riedel Veritas Spirits is a set of two machine-blown spirits glasses from the Austrian glassmaking house Riedel, made from crystal glass and shaped for spirits such as whisky, cognac and grappa. The glass belongs to Veritas, Riedel's newest and thinnest machine-blown collection.

Design & Material

With a capacity of just 152 ml, this is the smallest glass in the Veritas range - designed for a small dram rather than a full wine pour. The narrow, rising bowl concentrates the spirit's aromas and channels them toward a tapered opening, much like a traditional nosing glass.

Use & Recommendation

The glass is designed for nosing and tasting spirits such as whisky, cognac and other distillates - unlike the rest of the Veritas range, which is made for wine. If it's whisky you want to enjoy from the glass, you'll find inspiration in our range of Whisky. It's dishwasher safe, though a gentle wash keeps the shine best.
