FAQs

Can I put this tumbler in the dishwasher?

No, we strongly advise against using a dishwasher. The harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the delicate hand-cut details and the integrity of the crystal.

What is the capacity of the tumbler?

The tumbler is designed to hold a standard whisky measure comfortably, along with ice or a small amount of water. Specific volume details can be found in the product's technical specifications if available.

Is this glass suitable for whisky nosing?

While it can be used for nosing, it is not optimized for it like the traditional Glencairn whisky glass. Its wider opening and larger capacity are better suited for enjoying whisky with ice or water, or for cocktails.

How durable is the hand-cut crystal?

The crystal is of high quality, but as with any hand-cut glass, it is more delicate than machine-made glassware. Treat it with care to prevent chips or breaks.

Can it be used for hot beverages?

This tumbler is designed for spirits, cocktails, and cold beverages. It is not recommended for use with hot liquids.

Does it come with a lid?

This product description does not mention a lid. It is typically sold as a single tumbler.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on the crystal

Ensure the tumbler is dried thoroughly immediately after washing with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn spots, a diluted white vinegar solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse and thorough drying.

Cloudiness after washing

This may be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try washing with distilled water or a mild solution of white vinegar and water, followed by immediate drying.

Minor imperfections in the cut

As each tumbler is hand-cut, slight variations or minor imperfections are characteristic of the artisanal process and not considered defects.
