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.
