Engineered with Fluid Dynamics
The blind tasting glass version of the iconic Norlan Whisky Glass. Developed for the whiskey alchemist seeking a deeper exploration of the complex flavor compounds and aromatics of their whisky, bourbon, scotch, or other fine spirit.
The Norlan Whisky Glass, including the distinctive Vaild (Black) Edition, was designed to enhance every aspect of whisky (or whiskey) enjoyment—whether you're savoring Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, Canadian, or Japanese whisky. Our innovative glass captures and elevates whisky's complex flavors and aromatics, delivering a sensory experience like no other.
First conceptualized in 2015 by co-founder Sruli Recht and later refined by renowned master distiller Jim McEwan on Scotland’s Isle of Islay, the Norlan Whisky Glass has become a favorite among whisky enthusiasts. Nearly half a million glasses have been sold worldwide, consistently ranking among the best whisky glasses in customer reviews and surveys.
Handcrafted from lightweight borosilicate glass, the glass combines a scientifically optimized interior with an elegant exterior. In the Vaild (Black) Edition, the blind nosing glass surprises with a unique interior that reflects and amplifies the whisky’s color due to the double-walled design, offering a striking contrast to the rich, dark exterior. This creates a dynamic visual experience, complementing your whisky's aromas and flavors.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just starting your whisky journey, the Norlan Whisky Glass is the ultimate vessel for appreciating fine spirits or gifting the whisky lover in your life.

ETHANOL
AROMATICS
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.
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.
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.
The travel-ready evolution of the whisky experience. Crafted for life on the move, this double-walled stainless steel tumbler is engineered to keep your pour insulated and protected wherever the moment takes you. To keep in line with your dark modern aesthetic, it’s available in a sleek Mirror Black finish.
