The Whiskey Tot by Bottega del Vino Crystal is Superb for your Scotch Whiskey on these cold winter days


If the Single Malt Matters, So Does the Glass.   It is freezing here in Manhattan and perfect weather for sipping a single malt in the Whiskey Tot.  The call of the mother countries: Ireland, Scotland, and England beckon us with this lovely size.  The perfect shape is great for ingesting the sweet smell of scotch, even better for drinking it, and this wonderful creation is of course from Bottega del Vino Crystal.   We highly recommend them! During the holiday season, there is much to celebrate and you must celebrate with the proper glass.  We first began our coverage of this iconic brand recently and have already recommended drinking champagne out of their crystal.


The thoughtful shape is perfect for all kinds of scotch whether it be a blend or single malt....we are on a single malt kick at the moment however.  As the harsh wind whistles outside our Manhattan apartments (or townhouse if you are lucky) the spotless crystal of the Whiskey Tot will bring clarity, style and sophistication giving you a gentle Whiskey experience inside, in contrast to that.  As you hold it, the comfort of the Scotch Whiskey in the Tot will bring you endless evenings of delight!


Item Code: BV17

This noble single malt glass stands 3 1/2" high and offers 2 hand cut measuring lines to ensure the perfect serving.  The lower line is cut at 1 oz to measure the traditional "wee dram" of Scottish ancestry while the upper line is cut at 5 oz, the traditional "gill.   We recommend somewhere in between the 1 and 5 lines!
