Product Description
The Original Double-Walled Whisky Glass
Inspired by nature, digitally crafted, and meticulously refined with master distiller Jim McEwan, the Norlan Whisky Glass has been designed to capture whisky's complex flavors and aromatics and deliver them to the senses like never before.
The unique double-walled structure offers a seamless integration of a scientifically performing inside with an aesthetically beautiful outside, for the perfect whisky drinking experience.
The glass is formed by mouth-blowing borosilicate glass into two separate molds: one for the inner wall, and one for the outer wall. When both volumes are ready, the inner wall is inserted into the outer, at which time the rims are joined by spinning the glass rapidly across a linear flame.
A distinctive result of the double-walled construction is the intensity of color added to spirits in the bowl, which is further carried up into the rim of the glass.
Details and Specifications

Performance Features & Advantages Over Existing Glasses
Aeration
Inspired by the movement of ocean waves and developed with fluid dynamics modeling, specailly designed protrusion forms inside the Norlan Glass act to create a standing wave shape when the whisky is swirled inside the glass. The resulting wave form increases the surface to air ratio and rate of oxidization. The effect here is that considerably more ethanol evaporates. This resulting reduction in volatility allows the whisky to become significantly more expressive.
Aroma Focus
The second main performance feature is the shape of the inner walls, which close as they rise and then flare out again so as not to hit the nose. The height and diameter of the smallest aperture focuses the aromatics to the nose while simultaneously diffusing the ethanol away from the face, fantastically improving the taste of your whisky.
Copitas
Nosing glasses 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. A significant downside to using a nosing glass is that it changes the drinking experience to an introspective process, whereby the head is tilted up and back, cutting the drinker off from his surroundings.
Tumblers
A tumbler, on the other hand, allows one to sip while maintaining eye contact; a cool social glass. The social advantage of this is obvious, however the wide opening of the glass diffuses the aromatics of the spirit too widely, fading and flattening out the unique aromas of the spirit away from the nose—the drinker’s first and primary sensory point.
Expert Involvement
"This is the best glass I've ever used . . . Better than the glass I test my own whiskies with."

Important information
The Norlan Glass was designed with the intention of enjoying whisky neat. It is therefore our recommendation to not use ice in the glass. Should you decide to use ice, please be mindful that cubes must be gently placed into the inner bowl; we cannot be held responsible for breakage from ice being dropped into the glass. Add ice after the liquid and avoid the use of automatic ice dispensers. We do not recommend putting whisky stones in the glass and unfortunately cannot be held liable for any breakage or scratching that may occur as a result of using them.

Pros
+Does exactly what it says it was designed to do.....enhances the nose on whiskey. I’ve had trouble picking out notes in the past and this glass opens it up for me.
+The enhanced nosing experience improves the palate as well
+Look and feel. You’re not going to find a more stylish glass. These things are pieces of art.
+The way the light reflects around the bourbon and the glass. You know those rocks glasses with gold rims? When you have whiskey in these Norlan glasses the color of the whiskey reflects throughout parts of the glass and creates a golden ring around the top of the glass when there’s whiskey in it. Drink all the whiskey? The gold ring is gone. It makes it feel like the act of pouring whiskey into the glass gives the glass a golden aura shining off it. I can’t help but agree. (This one only applies to the clear version. The blacked out version would not have this same effect.)
+The way it feels in your hand.
Cons
+The glass is light and needs to be handled with care. You’re not going to break it just by using it or anything, but you do need to be careful with them. If you drop them they are going to break. They are meant for calm, careful sessions of enjoying your favorite bourbon.
+The ridges in the bottom of the glass inside do help release the notes in the nose, but they will break if you put ice or stones in them. This was one of the main reasons I held off originally....because of the reports of those ridges breaking. Nobody wants to have shards of glass in their drink. 😬 These glasses are strictly for enjoying whiskey neat.
+Some people complain about the curvature of the glass when you put your mouth on it. I actually like the feel, but felt it worth mentioning.
+You’ll want to be very careful while cleaning them.
+Cost
If you are willing and able to spend the money on them and handle them with care, these glasses will truly enhance the overall look, feel, smell, and taste of your whiskey enjoyment.
I should add. I rarely use my Glencairns anymore. Hope that helps!
Pros:
It does improve smell and drink experience in its own way.
It essentially holds a shot in the middle of this cup. The bottom of the drink may be 1CM closer to the top of the cup, in other words, the drink is closer to your nose when you smell the whisky. The drink also looks larger in this cup than an old fashioned cup. Somehow, I drink more slowly with this cup.
It provides a new and unique drinking experience for sure.
Conclusion: I was expecting a bigger and heavier cup. Initially I was a bit disappointed. After 2 weeks, I found myself using this cup for each dram of whisky, as every dram looks so clear in this cup color wise. Somehow, it just looks very cool. I drinks less and I appreciated the taste more.
Guess that is what a great cup is for. Changed 3 to 5 stars.
Note, if you happen to be love sake, it is wonderful cup for a cold sake like momokawa.
Two notes for improvements.
1. The packaging is really cool, but... unless you want to re-wrap the glasses in the packing paper, its kinda useless. A foam insert for each glass in the packaging tube would be a great improvement over the paper. It would allow the user to safely store their (extremely fragile and expensive) glasses.
2. While being extremely high quality glass, its waaaaaay to light and fragile. Make the outer glass wall a little thicker. Everyone enjoys a light glass, but not a fragile one. And everyone i know would rather have a glass that won't break easily over something that weights .2 oz less.
A tip for those who are looking to try these.
This is a tasting glass!!!! It is not meant for cocktails or to be filled to the brim with spirits. If you're looking for that, this is not the glass for you. Also, wash by hand. these glasses are nice, but i'm not sure they could handle a dishwasher.
