Personalize Your Product

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.

Why RyeCentral picked this

We added this because the copita is the classic nosing shape, the one tasting rooms reach for. The narrow, tapered rim gathers the aromatics and channels them toward your nose, so a spice-forward rye gives up its grain, baking spice, and oak before you ever sip. In lead-free glass and at about 6 oz, it is built for neat tasting rather than big pours over ice.
