FAQs

Is this glass dishwasher safe?

While some glass is durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing the Blender's Glass to preserve its delicate shape and prevent clouding.

It is particularly effective for older, delicate whiskies, though it performs exceptionally well with any high-quality spirit where you want to explore the aroma profile.

Does the shape affect the taste?

By enhancing the aroma, it significantly impacts your perception of flavor, as smell accounts for a large portion of our sensory experience when drinking spirits.

Is the glass lead-free?

Yes, the Blender's Glass is crafted from lead-free crystal, ensuring it is safe for consumption and resistant to long-term wear.
