Hey everyone! Berserker Day has come early!
Today is launch day for…
A BRAND NEW WHISK(E)Y AND SPIRITS TUMBLER (priced at $16)
On BD 14 the community spoke loudly but politely:
So, I went to work.
The first thing to talk about is that when I made this stemless design, I did not want to compromise on the performance of the stemmed glass. It was critical that drinkers would have the same nosing experience from both the stem and tumbler designs. That meant I would have to keep the same core shape and only adjust the base. Turns out that came with a ton of challenges from an aesthetics, usability, hand-feel, and production point of view. Seriously, every manufacturer laughed at how difficult this design is to make. There is so much glass material at the base. Like the stemless makes an impression with lightness, this makes an impression in heft.
The second topic is pricing, and this will make everyone quite happy. The stemmed glass is not cheap - a reality that is impossible to avoid with a hand-made in Europe piece of Titanium Crystal. The tumbler is much more affordable. Not having a stem reduces the need for the most skilled craftsman. Because of the lack of stem, the glass will be machine-made. If that concerns you, the only noteworthy point of difference in construction is that the lip of the glass will be a bit thicker compared to the stem to be more durable. Lastly, while it will still be lead-free crystal, there is no titanium - without a stem plus the ever so slightly thicker walls, there is less of a need for a high-strength additive. I’m happy to report that the tumbler will be half the cost of the Titanium Stem.

Delivery:
- This is a pre-order. Planned for end of September.
The design is finalized. This is it. I just have one more sample to validate a third type of crystal before placing the order which will be air-freighted to the USA. Of course, there might be unforeseen delays, but I’ll keep everyone updated if anything happens.
Thank you for the support!
It’s crazy how fast this has all come together and I literally could not have done it without you pushing me along.
So, as requested…
