Product Details
Nicknamed the 'Bo Bo Glass', the 1920s Professional Blender's Glass is designed for connoisseurs seeking the ultimate tasting experience. Its original purpose was to recreate the sensory tool used by professional blenders a century ago. It is particularly suited for tasting 'old spirits' and low ABV whiskies, as it can release layers of delicate aromas hidden deep within the liquid.
Recommendation: Due to the glass rim and long neck structure, users must tilt their head higher to drink the contents, which may cause slight neck fatigue during prolonged use. However, for that unprecedented depth of aroma, it is an essential tasting tool for any whisky collector.

The rebirth of this nosing glass stems from the collaborative efforts of whisky historians and tasting experts. In the early 20th century, blenders in the whisky industry needed a tool to accurately analyze spirits while isolating external interference. This onion-shaped design, popular at the time, features a large surface area conducive to releasing complex esters, while the long, narrow chimney-style neck concentrates these aromas directly to the nose, reducing the sensory sting of high-concentration alcohol.
In modern times, as enthusiasts' pursuit of 'Single Malt' and 'Aged Spirits' grows, this classic shape has regained prominence. Compared to the common Glencairn glass, the 1920s Blender's Glass excels in aromatic detail, despite slightly lower ergonomic scores (due to the higher drinking angle). For aged Scotch or delicate Japanese whiskies with lower alcohol concentrations and subtle aromas, this glass often reveals surprising hidden notes. It is the top choice for professional analysis and an indispensable accessory for enthusiasts wishing to deepen their tasting experience.
