Glass Whisky Angel
$25This decorative keepsake combines whisky and art.
A true legend in Scotland's whisky-making history, "The Angels' Share" is a term for the measure of a distilled spirit's volume that is lost to evaporation whilst the whisky is maturing in its cask or barrel. This unique design by Angels' Share Glass captures the measure in a sealed glass angel through a secret process, known only to the highly skilled craftsmen who have created it.
This whisky angel holds a pewter crest adorned with a Scottish Thistle, the national flower of Scotland. Holding 25ml of Scotch single malt whisky, this remarkable design allows the spirit to be captured in the molten glass without combusting.
Approximately 70mm in height, the angel is beautifully boxed and comes complete with a delightful story.
The whisky is not for drinking and is completely sealed, so you can keep your favorite dram forever.
Tom Young MBE and daughter Karen produce beautiful glassware, creating the very best in innovative and creative concepts. Together they have supplied some of the world's leading distillers with products used for the distilling process. The idea for the business was born out of the Legend of The Angels' Share After watching a Film of the same name. Karen & Tom designed the Whisky Angel. This is now the signature product and the glassware range has evolved around whisky and spirits ever since.
