Riedel Sommeliers Single malt whisky

The invitation came from Campbell Distillers in the Scottish Highlands to develop a glass for their Edradour and Aberlour products. Single Malt,a drink with individuality,produced in a long tradition and aged in oakfruit of different origins.

Highland-,Lowland-,Islay- or Irish-Malt-Whisky are made of 100% barley,which makes a lasting impression on the personality of the whisky. Although the taste is very different,the Riedel Single-Malt-Whisky-Glass is especially suitable to show the barley character.

Main mugs are used,which do not do justice to the Single Malt in its different nuances. The Scots are keen to add a sip of water to enhance the aroma and achieve soft,rounded nuances of taste. The goal was thus defined: Riedel's single malt glass had to achieve this effect without compromising the concentration and further emphasizing the origin of the Scottish classic so as not to confuse it with cognac.

It is well known that a slim,high basic form reduces the effects of alcohol. For fine tuning,many different prototypes were produced,varying in diameter and height. The lipped rim of the mouth is known to emphasize the fruit and to take the scoops of alcohol. The final fine-tuning took place in the Highlands at Aberlour under the guidance of the master distiller and personalities of management.

From many possibilities,a single form was unreservedly defined as ideal. It accentuates the creamy taste of the single malt and its smooth texture. Only in the finish the new form shows the power of the alcohol.
