It comes down to size. A SOF — Single Old Fashioned — is the smaller tumbler (180 to 300 ml), ideal for a neat dram or a single measure where you want to nose the whisky close and keep it undiluted.

A DOF — Double Old Fashioned — is the larger version (350 to 470 ml), with room for a generous pour and a big cube or sphere of ice that melts slowly and opens the spirit up gently.

The name nods to spirit measures: a single versus a double.

Whichever you reach for, the NUDE whisky range offers both shapes: a SOF for a quiet, neat pour, a DOF when you want whisky on the rocks done properly.

For single malt Scotch, a tulip-shaped tasting glass is the connoisseur's choice: the broad bowl concentrates the aroma while the slightly flared lip directs the spirit to the tip of the tongue, emphasising its smooth, silken character.

The NUDE Islands Whisky Tasting Glass is designed precisely for this: handmade from lead-free crystal, it unlocks every layer of a single malt from the first nosing to the last sip.

For a more relaxed pour, the NUDE Alba whisky glass , inspired by the Gaelic word for Scotland, offers a heavy-bottomed tumbler that tapers toward the brim, holding in the subtle aromas beautifully.

A tumbler is a short, wide glass designed for everyday drinking, with or without ice. It is robust, comfortable to hold, and suits any whisky style.

A tasting glass is taller and narrower, with a bowl that concentrates aroma and a rim designed to direct the spirit precisely. It is the preferred choice for nosing and appreciating a fine single malt without distraction.

NUDE offers both — the Paris and Alba collections for tumbler lovers, and the Islands collection for those who take their tasting seriously.

A whisky decanter does not change the spirit the way a wine decanter aerates wine, but it does make a meaningful difference in two other ways.

First, it allows the whisky to breathe slightly, softening sharper notes in younger expressions. Second, and more honestly, it elevates the entire experience.

Pouring from a beautifully crafted NUDE decanter, whether the Malt bottle on its wooden tray, the sculptural Alba carafe with its omnidirectional marble stopper, or the award-winning Chill with its marble base is an act of intention. It says this moment deserves more than a bottle on the table.

Any NUDE whisky collection makes a considered gift, but a few stand out. The Malt set by Mikko Laakkonen is a complete, beautifully designed set that arrives as a statement.

The Chill collection, winner of the IF Design Award 2017, pairs crystal glass with a marble base that chills your dram without ice, a genuinely unique gift for the whisky lover who has everything.

For something more personal, the Alba collection by Joe Doucet features hand-engraved tartan detailing and a decanter stopper that points toward Scotland, a gift with a story.

The traditional answer is whisky stones, but NUDE has a more elegant solution. The Chill collection echoes the old tradition of cooling stones in river water, reimagined in lead-free crystal and high-quality marble.

The marble base of both the decanter and tumbler is designed to be placed in the freezer before use, keeping your dram cold, fresh and completely undiluted. No ice. No compromise. Just whisky at its best.

It depends on the collection. Machine-made collections are dishwasher safe.

Handmade collections, including Alba, Paris, Malt, Islands and Chill, are recommended for handwashing to preserve the integrity of the lead-free crystal and any engraved or handmade detailing.
