This set includes two (2) of our award-winning Norlan Whisky Glasses in matte black finish for taking the blind nosing experience to the next level. The set is packed with two units in a single, reusable gift box, making it ideal for gifting. 

Matte black, double-walled nosing glass engineered for immersive whisky tasting. Conceived as a blind nosing glass, the VAILD Edition guides a refined sensory journey through the layered aroma and taste of whisky — enveloped in a matte jet-black finish.

WHISKY. REVEALED.

AN EYE-CATCHING FORM COMBINING A MODERN EXTERIOR WITH A FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR.

WHISKY. ENHANCED.

A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INTERIOR SERVES TO ELIMINATE ETHANOL BURN AND DELIVER AROMAS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER GLASS.

WHISKY. ELEVATED.

A UNIQUE, LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN FEATURING DOUBLE-WALLED BOROSILICATE GLASS.

A WHISKY GLASS THAT DELIVERS

ETHANOL

AROMATICS

AERATION

Special protrusion forms inside our tasting glass create wave-like movements in the liquid when it is swirled within the bowl. This helps to release the ethanol within the spirit, allowing the scents to become more present when nosing, which in turn improves the flavor when drinking.

ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER GLASSES

COPITAS

Tulip shaped nosing glasses, with their narrowed rim, often concentrate the shape of the vapor in such a way that they tightly focus it, causing the ethanol to punch into the eyes and nose, and concealing the aromas.

TUMBLERS

A cool social glass, the wide opening of a tumbler (or rocks glass) diffuses the aromas of the spirit too widely, fading and flattening them out. This results in a diminished nosing and tasting experience.

Great. Love them. And wonderful packaging

Two types of glasses

I ordered both the Whisky glass and the Rauk Heavy Tumbler (both in black). The Whisky glass is great for drinking the whisky neat. The heavy tumbler is great when you want to drink the whisky with ice or for a cocktail (the heavy tumbler is heavy and feels great in your hand). The black glasses with the color of the whisky in the glass looks amazing together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use ice or whisky stones?

The Norlan Whisky Glass was designed to improve the aroma and taste of whisky enjoyed neat. We do not recommend using ice or whisky stones in the glass and caution that they can cause harm to the glass.

Can the glass be stored in the freezer?

We do not recommend storing the glass in the freezer because of the risk of thermal shock.

Please also note that the glass should not be placed in a microwave or oven.

Can I order one clear and one black glass?

Sorry, but we do not offer mixed sets at this time.

Is the glass dishwasher safe?

We recommend you always hand wash and dry your glasses with a non-abrasive cloth to ensure their longevity. 

Can the glass be engraved?

While we do not offer engraving services, any engraving specialist should be more than happy to work on these glasses.

Note: The black edition of the Norlan Whisky Glass is coated in a matte black lacquer. Engraving the exterior will remove this finish.

Is the inside of the black edition coated in gold?

The inside of the VAILD edition is clear borosilicate glass. The shimmering gold is the result of light becoming trapped within the blackened walls of the glass and refracting through the whisky. 

Can the glass be used for other spirits?

While the Norlan Whisky Glass was developed for the appreciation of whisky, we’ve found that it performs equally well for any spirit containing a high ABV where nosing is an important aspect of the drinking experience.

How is the glass packaged?

The Norlan Whisky Glass is sold as a set of two. You'll receive them in a meticulously designed gift box that can be re-used (if desired) to store the glasses.

Is the new black edition identical to the original?

The new black edition of the Norlan Whisky Glass has a sllightly difference surface than the original. If you are ordering to match your original set of glasses, kindly note that there will be a very minor difference in tone and feel.
