The Niall was designed as the ultimate tasting glass for the cognac aficionado, where every element has been carefully conceived to allow the drinker to taste and nose the cognac. The stem allows the drinker to elevate the glass, toast and proceed to nosing with optimal control, whilst the thicker glass density ensures the environment has no effect on the temperature of the cognac.

The Vortex Point, bulb and chicane come together to remove the ethanol vapour, ensuring the drinker can detect every layer of flavour and aroma that have developed through decades of time, craft and skill.
