FAQs
Can this decanter be washed in the dishwasher?

What is the total height of the piece?
The Galway Crystal Longford Square Decanter measures 22.2cm in height.
Is the stopper airtight?
The decanter features a classic glass stopper. While it fits securely for standard storage, it is not an airtight vacuum seal.
Will this decanter cloud over time?
If washed properly with mild soap and dried immediately, the crystal will maintain its clarity for years. Avoid prolonged contact with water to prevent film buildup.
Can I store different types of spirits in this?
Yes, it is suitable for whiskey, scotch, bourbon, or other spirits. Ensure the decanter is cleaned between changing the type of spirit stored inside.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn water spots inside the decanter
Use a specialized glass cleaning brush or a mixture of warm water and a tiny amount of vinegar, swirling gently to avoid contact with the delicate outer patterns.
Stopper feels loose or rattles slightly
This is common in classic glass-on-glass stoppers; ensure it is centered correctly, but do not force it to avoid glass-to-glass grinding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your decanter, ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and dried before first use. Given the intricate glass cuts, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. When cleaning, avoid harsh detergents and the dishwasher; always hand-wash with mild soap and lukewarm water to maintain the crystal's clarity. Store the decanter on a flat, stable surface away from the edge of tables to prevent accidental falls. Avoid thermal shock by not exposing the cold glass to extremely hot water suddenly.
