Ajka Crystal Clarendon Brandy Glass

The bowl is designed with a wide base that tapers toward the rim, which is essential for trapping and concentrating the volatile aromas of brandy or cognac. This shape allows you to swirl the spirit effectively, releasing the full bouquet before you take a sip.

The deep ruby red hue is integrated into the crystal during the glassmaking process, not applied as a surface coating. This ensures the color remains vibrant and will not chip, peel, or fade over time.

To preserve the clarity and brilliance of the crystal, we recommend hand washing with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can cause clouding or damage to the delicate stem.

Yes, the glass is weighted at 8.5 ounces, which provides a substantial, balanced feel. The ergonomic stem is designed to be held comfortably, allowing you to warm the bowl with your hand if you prefer to release more aromatics.

While optimized for brandy and cognac, this glass is excellent for any aged spirit that benefits from aeration, such as dark rum, armagnac, or even a heavy-bodied whiskey.
