The perfect gift for the whiskey lover in your life, this gift set includes two Riedel crystal single malt whiskey glasses and Helen Arthur's The Single Malt Whisky Companion hardcover book.

In early 1992, a panel of Scotch whiskey experts convened at Riedel's headquarters in Austria to test a range of nineteen different glass shapes. On the basis of this first selection, Georg Riedel undertook further research with the help of master distillers in Scotland. This research resulted in a glass that is an elongated thistle shape on a truncated stem. The design incorporates a small, slightly out-turned lip which directs the spirit onto the tip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived, and serves to emphasize the elegant creaminess of top quality single malt whiskey.

The Single Malt Whisky Companion provides information on every major Scottish distillery and their single malts as well as the premier whiskeys from Ireland and Japan. At the heart of the book is a comprehensive directory that features brand-by-brand coverage of more than 100 major distilleries in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Japan. Each brand is identified with a full-color photograph of the bottle and label, and a summary of key information. A resource guide offers a list of suppliers and notable pubs, restaurants, and hotels with extensive whiskey collections where one can savor a fine single malt. Covering 500 years of Scottish tradition associated with this unique beverage, this is the essential guide to enjoying the finest premier single malts available.

Eisch Sensis Plus Breathable Glasses

!±8± Eisch Sensis Plus Breathable Glasses

The traditional process of wine aeration (letting a wine breathe) involves the use of a crystal wine decanter or carafe in which the sediment in the bottle gets removed and the aroma, or nose, opens up, enhancing the wine-drinking experience. This process can take up to one to two hours in a wine decanter and it is very beneficial to many wines-whether fine or table. But if you are like me (prone to the need for instant gratification), an hour or two can seem like an eternity when you can't wait to taste that bottle of fine wine you just acquired. What's an impatient wine enthusiast to do? Enter, breathable glasses.

Sensis Plus Wine Glasses

When I heard about a line of crystal wine glasses from Eisch Glaskultur that effectively aerated wine in two to four minutes as opposed to an hour or two, I have to admit I was a little skeptical. Loved the idea of it, but part of me thought perhaps it might be a marketing ploy (à la "it slices, it dices...it even makes julienne fries!"). I am thrilled to report that after I tried the Eisch Sensis Plus wine glasses with a friend, I can honestly say the things really do work. Not to take ANYTHING away from crystal wine decanters-they will always be an important part in the serving of fine wine, and they are recommended for older wines with more sediment. Some of them are also just so visually stunning it enhances the overall experience of drinking wine-like you're experiencing the finer things in life!

How Breathable Wine Glasses are Made

At the end of the production process, the breathable, lead-free Sensis Plus glasses are treated with an oxygenizing process that actually changes the molecular structure of the glass, allowing it to breathe. It's not a coating or a chemical treatment, and since it's a physical treatment, the effect never wears off.

Do Eisch Breathable Glasses Work with Just Wine?

Fortunately, no! They work with spirits too, most notably those that are wood-aged, such as cognac, brandy, Scotch whiskey, etc. Eisch points out that they are also good for fruit juices with high acidity, such as orange or pineapple juice, and they make breathable glasses for beer, champagne and espresso as well.

You Be the Judge - Breathable Glass Taste Test

If my singing the praises of Eisch Sensis Plus wine glasses doesn't convince you about the effect they have on dramatic, speedy wine aeration...try it for yourself! Get some friends together and get a couple of different bottles of wine, such as a Bordeaux, a Merlot, a young white wine (the breathable glasses also work very well with many non-red wines)--anything your palate desires. Then get the respective breathable glass for the wine type (Eisch wine glasses are pretty affordable for a higher-end crystal wine glass), and the same type standard glass for the wine type. I feel 100% confident you will not only taste the difference, but you will be a fan of Eisch.

Cheers!

Campbell Distillers, owner of the critically acclaimed single malts Aberlour and Edradour, asked Riedel to come up with a glass that would highlight the very special characteristics of single malt whisky. And so, in early 1992, a panel of single malt experts was convened at Riedel¿s headquarters in Austria to test a range of different glasses. On the basis of this first selection, Georg Riedel undertook further research with the help of master distillers in Scotland. The result is this glass: an elongated thistle shape on a truncated stem. The design incorporates a small, slightly out-turned lip that directs the spirit onto the tip of the tongue, where sweetness is perceived, and serves to bring out the elegant creaminess of a top-quality single malt. In September 1992, a group of Britain¿s leading single malt experts gathered in London to test the prototype. They agreed that the subtle aromas of the whisky were lost in a traditional tumbler; brandy balloons emphasized the alcohol at the expense of finesse; and the copita tended to magnify the oak components to such an extent that the whisky began to take on cognac-like characteristics. The Riedel glass emerged as the clear winner, bringing forward the pure malt character of all the whiskies tasted by concentrating their aromas and accentuating their softness, roundness and silkiness.Recommended for: Single Malt Whisky, Malt Whisky, and Whisky.

!±8± Gift Ideas for Whiskey Lovers

There are some great gift ideas for whiskey lovers to consider. Anyone who appreciates a high quality whiskey, scotch or bourbon will also appreciate a unique gift such as whiskey stones to chill their beverage, a fine quality hand-crafted whiskey glass and an attractive lead-crystal whiskey decanter set.

There are great gifts for all budgets that range from under to just about 0 for a set that is also a piece of artwork.

If you have not heard of whiskey stones, then you are in for a unique idea for someone who has just about everything. Whiskey stones are made of soapstone that when frozen will chill whiskey or another fine spirit to just the right temperature without watering down the drink.

Whiskey stones by either On the Rocks or Teroforma come as a set of 9, and the Teroforma set also has a muslin bag to put them in when not in use. For just under , whiskey stones are the perfect little gift for that someone special.

Another great gift idea for someone who loves whiskey is a specially crafted whiskey or old-fashioned glass. There are many styles to choose from such as glasses with a stem, a flat bottom old-fashioned style or even a rocking glass that will sure be a conversation piece.

Several companies such as Riedel or Bormioli Rocco have been in business many years hand-crafting beautiful glassware in a fine-quality glass or lead-crystal. The Stolzle Glencairn Whiskey Glass comes in a gift box ready to give to someone as a special holiday or birthday gift.

Perfect for a wedding gift for that special couple, a whiskey decanter set is an excellent gift idea. Usually it comes with the decanter and stopper, four to six glasses and a tray to display the set on.

There are several beautifully crafted decanter sets such as the Bormioli Rocco Selecta Decanter Set that comes in a fine cut glass, or the Godinger Dublin Decanter Set made of fine lead crystal with the classic Irish diamond and wedge pattern. Most whiskey sets are boxed and ready for gift giving.
