NORLAN Rauk Heavy Crystal Tumbler Clear / 250 ML

The Rauk Heavy Tumbler: Crafting the Perfect Whisky Experience

The Rauk Heavy Tumbler is the culmination of advanced digital design, innovative production techniques, and the intimate whisky ritual. Designed for whisky enthusiasts who prefer their spirit chilled, either with an ice sphere or on the rocks, this tumbler also caters to the connoisseurs of crafted cocktails.

At the heart of this glass lies a core innovation – an array of extruded chevrons radiating from the center on the inside, providing friction points for effortlessly gripping and muddling ingredients during the cocktail-making process. Circumventing the ornamental approach of traditional cut crystal, the entire surface of the tumbler, both inside and out, is born in a single, machine-pressed moment, resulting in a pure expression of material and form.

The design of the Rauk Heavy Tumbler is a meticulously considered journey, with every element, curve, edge, angle, and facet thoughtfully crafted over two years of development. The base of the glass is one of the most unique you'll encounter, featuring a precision-modeled design that touches down on four crystal points, giving the appearance of the glass hovering – a satellite in spirit.

The delicate balance between the dramatic difference in thickness between the walls and the base of the tumbler requires a precisely timed technique of cooling and turning, followed by fire polishing the mold seams. This process is a true glass ballet, a complex choreography of timing and intuition to ensure the heavy glass appears to float effortlessly.

Moving upward, the triangular facets of the base evolve into the more organic, three-dimensional form that elevates the glass above the table surface. These iconic forms then transition into the triangular surfaces and creases that make up the main outer surface – the part you want to touch with your hands. Finally, these forms gently curve into the perimeter of the glass, finishing at the finely edged rim – the part you want to touch with your mouth.

The Rauk Heavy Tumbler is more than just a striking rocks glass; it is a tool designed to enhance the art of cocktail making. The inner base hosts a specially developed multi-chevron cross-shaped extrusion, engineered to grip ingredients during the muddling process. This feature was the result of dozens of design iterations, seeking the perfect form to aid in the art of cocktail creation.

Whether you're savoring a chilled whisky or crafting a bespoke cocktail, the Rauk Heavy Tumbler is a masterpiece that combines advanced design, innovative production, and the intimate ritual of enjoying your favorite spirits. Prepare to be impressed, and let the weight and form of this glass elevate your drinking experience.
