Short and heavy-bottomed, the NUDE Alba whisky bottle tapers towards the brim to preserve the spirit’s flavours and aromas. The minimal silhouette is crafted from lead-free crystal and features a hand engraved, deconstructed tartan pattern adorning the base, and a circular stopper which gently tilts in the conical neck of the carafe — an invitation to keep it pointing towards Scotland.

Sleek and modern, the NUDE Alba whisky bottle stands out with a cleverly deconstructed tartan pattern hand engraved at the base — a nod to the liquor’s Scottish roots. The theme continues with the unique stopper designed to lean omnidirectionally, inviting the whisky lover to point it towards Scotland. Crafted from lead-free crystal and available in two sizes — this one is tall.

Case in point: this large glass which gives ample room for the white wine to breathe. The generous, oval bowl is crowned with a wide rim which directs the wine to the middle palate, bestowing freshness and enhancing a tangier acidity that balances the wine and unleashes its flavour. The substantial silhouette allows for a higher volume of wine to reach the palate, with the velvety texture and taste taking centre stage. Designed for full-bodied grape varieties, it brings out fresh, fruity aromas and seamlessly integrates them with toasty oak notes.

So fine and light it defies industry standards, this relatively small glass presents an elegant, oval shape. The expertly designed silhouette is narrow at the rim to enhance the high notes and elegant character sealed in the grapes, as well as to direct the wine towards the tip of the tongue to highlight its fruitiness and tame the natural acidity. Ideally suited for delicate, white wine varieties, bonus point — it will also keep your drink fresh for longer.

This tall and large glass allows for the heavier aromatic molecules to be freed and noticed, thanks to the “chimney” effect, which helps achieve an enhanced intensity of flavour. The towering shape directs the wine to the back part of the palate — naturally more sensitive to taste — while also preventing the wine from centering on the teeth and gums, avoiding undesirable tannin astringency. The significant amount of wine poured on the back part of the tongue creates a perception of mellowness and depth, characteristic of powerful red wines.
