Japanese Whisky Nosing Glass: A Classic Choice
A copita-style nosing glass in lead-free glass, holding about 6 oz, with a tall stem-and-bowl profile and a tapered, fluted rim. The shape concentrates aroma, making it a focused tool for nosing rye neat. Sold as a set of two.
About this piece
A Japanese whisky nosing glass in the classic copita style — the shape tasting rooms reach for. The tall bowl and tapered, fluted rim gather a rye's aromatics and channel them toward your nose, so the grain, baking spice, and oak come through before you sip. At about 6 oz in lead-free glass, it is sized for neat tasting rather than pours over ice.
The copita began as a sherry copita glass in Spain's tasting bodegas; whisky distillers adopted the same narrow-rimmed shape because it works just as well for spirits. This retro Japanese take keeps that heritage in a sturdier, everyday profile.
Sold as a set of two for shared tastings — a great gift for the rye or whiskey lover in your life. Hand washing is recommended to keep the glass clear and the rim intact. Compare shapes in our whiskey nosing glasses collection.
