Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Vinum Single Malt Scotch Glasses, Set of 6
Customer Review: response to fair_deal_guy
Summary: 5 Stars
You say these glasses are a waste because of the tongue becomming anesthetized. That is more a reason _for_ using a glass such as this, than against it. Not only because it directs the liquid to the proper areas of the tongue, but also because it controls the aroma, which is an essential part of experiencing a scotch. There are only 4 primary tastes, but 32 primary scents. Some people prefer a brandy snifter, but for me that holds too much of the aroma and overdelivers. These Vinum glasses work well for me, although I would probably enjoy an ever so slightly larger bowl.As a side note, it you are drinking your whisky at a % of ABV that is anesthetizing your mouth, you don't understand how to properly taste. The majority of whiskies need a splash of water to open them up, how much water vaires form one to the next.
Description of Riedel Vinum Single Malt Scotch Glasses, Set of 6
The German-made Riedel Vinum glasses consist of 24-percent lead crystal for distinctive clarity and brilliance. Renowned German glassmaker Riedel designs the shape of each glass to most fully enhance the appreciation of the liquid within. Machine-crafted in Bavaria from 24-percent lead crystal and designed for fine scotch, single malt whiskey, Irish whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. Ideal for highlighting sweetness and creaminess of spirits. While all Vinum glassware is dishwasher-safe, Riedel recommends washing the crystal by hand to prevent detergent residue that can affect the taste.Nobody knows Wine like Riedel from stemware to decanters, Riedel glassware is prized for it's quality and the way it enhances the enjoyment of fine beverages. Strong enough for daily use. Makes a great gift for those who appreciate the pleasure of drinking scotch.
If you tend to echo the words of actor Joe Don Baker in Mitchell--when asked, "How do you like your Scotch?" he replied, "By the quart"--then the Riedel Vinum series single malt whiskey glass may not be your cup of Teaninich. Not so for fans of small-batch Bourbons and other nonblended whiskies: with its flared lip and wide tulip-shaped bowl atop the circular base, this vessel is designed to direct its contents to flavor-friendly areas of the mouth and nose. The underlying theory of all Riedel stemware states that the tongue is divided into four zones, each recognizing either sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, or acidity; by changing the size and shape of the glass, Riedel can accentuate wine's and spirits' positives while mitigating negatives. Unlike the traditional brandy snifter, which concentrates the alcoholic vapors and burns out the shnoz, the lip of the single malt glass disperses them, allowing you to enjoy the subtleties, whether your drink be Speyburn or sour mash. --Tony Mason
